    Because of boredom, young people used to invent wild new fashions and new genres of music (e.g., rock-n-roll, reggae, hip hop, EDM).
    Not minor subgenres, but entirely new genres. Today, kids mostly dress like their parents and just stare at their phones.

    Chronic states of boredom with all of existence is what led to my substance abuse. I have found reading books to be the most effective way of dealing with this problem that I still struggle with daily. They tend to extend the periods of time in which I want to take a "hit" to stave off the feelings of boredom and powerlessness because reading things to completion cause a mild euphoric feeling that overcomes my cravings for extended periods of time. Plus, I become an expert in many random things.

    Wow I thought I was going to hear something different funny enough realizing it is the opposite of what you would teach. I was thinking you would have to fight that boredom. I been not wanting to work on a person project for a few days now but I been slowly working on it while doing something after say 10 minutes that keeps me entertained for a bit. Realizing now, what work I have done for this has actually been better than if I were to force myself into this. I know the reason for procrastinating might be due to the unknown of how people will react to the project but just compromising with myself to work and do something mindless that is fun is helping me get into the work. Thank you for the video love watching these, been on 50th Law and love it so far going for 48 Laws of Power after I finish!

I had an exam for my Abitur, highest degree in germany required to enter a university etc. nearly 5 hours of writing, than I imediatly went to another appointment of mine and since there wasn‘t enough time to go home till the next one I‘m waiting since 3 p.m. (3 hours). Got nothing to do so I started feeling empty and though my depression is coming, quite commen for me I got a lot of hate and bitternes inside me besides being 18 mostly towards myself. Tried to read but aint helping much. Thank u for providing me information to name my demon and giving me advice how to deal with it.

    Great subject to talk about. Everyone has different needs & wants to fulfill a work/life balance. Health activities are exercise and mindfulness. Yet, those are activities that require effort so some leisure has to take place. Something easy & enjoyful like watering flowers or painting or anything that is just fun. Something that you've been putting off will make you feel better in that you finally accomplished something that either needed to be done or that you just wanted to do. Sending an email or a letter to a friend is a great way to stay connected. Thank you, as always, for your advice Robert Greene.

    Yes Boredom is often quite useful because in many cases we get in our own way and create problems in order to manufacture a purpose whilst bored. Oftentimes I feel we sometimes have to step back and receive the boredom for a short period to simply allow ourselves a period of respite from issues. Can't say I always follow that sentiment, usually end up doing something hedonistic instead. But the sentiment is there

    Boredom is the inclination in the body of not following a set pattern of activities normally compounded on. Whilst sitting aside the usual pathways to watch where probable possibilities lie, where one would further their understanding of themselves as they are, one can also see the other ways they could develop so as to concretize an aspect of themselves previously overlooked.

    This is true.

When I went to prison I was like, man I finally have time to really read. This skill has saved me in the free world since, these last 3 years ive been recovering, and using my down time to build myself up. Thank you for all you do Robert.

    Been thinking a lot about boredom lately and feeling particularly bored while working at my job. It is a very deep and profound feeling of boredom and kind of scary because it is also quite depressing. I know for sure that this is a sign to change my job and to do something that will excite me more. It‘s just a bit hard to change that over night… But your video came right on time 😊🙏🏼

    Think about this. When we are bored, its not that we dont know what to do. Its that we feel something unbearable that we feel we cant change for the moment, so we disconnect from our feelings, thus feeling bored.
    Example:
    Waiting in line at the bankm we feel fustrated, but we cant change that, so we disconnect, thus feel bored.

    Boredom isn’t a thing. There is no “boredom.” There’s peace and contentment or the absence of peace and discontentment and this is what “boredom” is and it’s why we have so much hyperconsumerism, addiction, lack of commitment in relationships/ high divorce rate, family instability, etc. It’s the lack of peace and contentment.

      I came here to say much the same thing. I used to get bored, but now I just “am”. My mind keeps me occupied & EVERYTHING & everyone IS creation, & so all is worthy of my wonder… the hard part is learning not to think, the inside of my skull often sounds like a tiny crowd of people all trying to talk at once 🙉 but yeah, I enjoy my own company very much too.
