Listen "Why boredom is good for us especially now "
Episode Synopsis
Psychologist and Neurologist, Ian Robertson, joins sean to discuss and explore a counter-intuitive idea for the new year: that boredom isn’t something to fear, but something we urgently need to relearn. He argues that our constant urge to scroll and stay stimulated is eroding our ability to think, feel and create freely. Ian makes the case for boredom as a temporary relief from “mental slavery”, a state that allows the mind to wander, emotions to surface, and creativity to re-emerge.
