Boredom in all its forms
Boredom typically means your brain is telling you something is not sufficiently meaningful or engaging, and once you recognize that you can decide how to deal with it. On this episode, Tyler and Steve discuss the research into various types of boredom and our brain's responses to them. It's about finding meaning, whether you rediscover it or reintroduce it or find it elsewhere.
