I recently appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast to talk about my new book, The Comfort Crisis. It explores how our physical, mental, and even spiritual health can benefit from a reinjection of some evolutionary discomforts. Our modern comforts and conveniences are tied to many of our most pressing problems, like obesity, chronic disease, depression, and even feeling a lack of meaning.
During the podcast, I told Joe all about the benefits of boredom. Boredom is an evolutionary, beneficial discomfort we’ve engineered out of our lives. Watch the clip to understand why you need boredom and the best ways to find it.
