In this ground-breaking new book, teacher, counsellor, and philosopher
Mark Hawkins reveals a whole new understanding of boredom.
Society teaches us that boredom is negative and something to be avoided.
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.
Mark gets to the core of why boredom is the most 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.
