We went on a journey into boredom! Boredom is surprisingly fascinating, with both its upside and downside. I tried to address the intriguing question of why, with so much to entertain and engage us these days, we are all still so bored. I argued that over-stimulation is causing us to be more bored than ever, and that the more we try to combat boredom via our devices etc, the more bored we become. The answer was to embrace boredom and allow it back into our lives!
