The Upside of Downtime : Why Boredom Is Good

---

In the current information age, we are constantly connected to technology, and have so many ways to spend our leisure time that we should all surely never know boredom feels like. Yet boredom appears to be on the rise; it seems the more we have to stimulate us, the more stimulation we crave. In an environment characterised by change, speed and novelty, we are losing the abality to tolerate the routine and repetition of everyday life.
In The Upside of Downtime, Sandi Mann uses ground-breaking research to tell story of how we act, react, and cope when we are bored. She explores the idea that there is a positive side to boredom and that it can be a catalyst for humour, fun, reflection, creativity and inspiration. She argues that the radical solution to the 'boredom problem' is to harness it rather than try to avoid it: allowing yourself time away from constant stimuli can enrich your life so we should all embrace our boredom and see the upside of our downtime
