Why Boredom is Essential for Creating a Meaningful Life
Description
Our tolerance for boredom is diminishing quickly.
In this age of distraction, it is so easy to fill our boredom with work, activities, and quick entertainment. But avoiding boredom prevents us from using it to create a life full of meaning and purpose.
Teacher, counsellor, and philosopher Mark Hawkins gets to the core of why boredom is a powerful human emotion. Drawing from psychology, philosophy, and personal experiences, Mark shows us that boredom can be seen as spaces in time containing pure creative potential available for self and life transformation.
Along the way, Mark provides a perspective of boredom that can sometimes be counter-intuitive. For example, why busy people may, in fact, be the most bored, and why filling your boredom with the wrong things can actually create more of it.
It's time to stop distracting yourself from life and start living it.
