"Mark Hawkins takes a fresh and meaningful approach to the topic, and shows us what we risk, not by being bored, but by trying to avoid it." -Terri Trespicio, author of Unfollow Your Passion
"I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to live a more meaningful life." - Park Chan-Kuk, Prof. of Philosophy, Seoul National University
"Mark Hawkins is an expert at being bored." - The New York Times
ARE WE DISTRACTING OURSELVES AWAY FROM HAPPINESS?
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.
Dr. Mark Hawkins is a psychotherapist, writer, and educator who gets to the core of why boredom is a 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 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.

Store description
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others.
