We wake up every morning, thinking \"what do I have to \"\u003cb\u003edo\u003c\/b\u003e\" today?\". At work we ask each other \"what did you \u003cb\u003edo\u003c\/b\u003e at the weekend?\". We introduce ourselves to new people by asking \"and what do you \u003cb\u003edo\u003c\/b\u003e?\". The things we do or don't do, shape our wellbeing with chronic boredom having devastating effects. Our \"busyness\" and desire to escape boredom, shapes us and our world, it creates identity and social connection and impacts on the economy, capitalism, and the environment. On a lighter note, there are also bits about sex, relationships and shopping. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter 1: Human being or human doing?\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Boredom: the good, the bad and the ugly \u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Boredom and wellbeing \u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Boredom and the creation of economy \u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: Boredom and the impact on the environment \u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: A way forward\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 134\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.29 x 7.81 x 5.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 11, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52475991916851,"sku":"9798377545187","price":19.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/dYiMQvz10D9798377545187.webp?v=1759568170","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/bored-why-we-need-something-to-do-every-day-and-what-happens-if-we-dont-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
