Can boredom be useful? Jimi Hendrix thought so.

Dealing with Boredom? Boredom expert Prof. John Eastwood @YorkUHealth's @BoredomLab explains why when we fear an uncomfortable sensation, we’re more likely to lurch from it to a problematic behaviour. https://t.co/b73sQqwys5 via @VICE

Great opportunity to study animal welfare.

[Harvard University Press International @HarvardUPLondon]

In a year when lockdowns proved pretty boring, it seems fitting that a book about the psychology of boredom should be a @GuardianBooks best book about ideas for 2020.

‘Spuddle’ - what a great word! Do the spuddling society and @dullmensclub ever hold joint meetings?

[British Spuddling Society @Spuddlers_Soc]

If you’re bored why not read about the fascinating world of boredom? As commuted spuddlers we just skimmed through.

“boredom occurs when we are caught in a desire conundrum, wanting to do something but not wanting to do anything,”

[Boredom Lab @BoredomLab]

Looking forward to exploring the endlessly fascinating topic of boredom.

@BurmanPhD @drreznicek If you are looking for an academic , social history sort of focus I recommend Kuhn’s ‘The demon of noontide’ as a place to start.

[Erin Westgate @ErinWestgate]
