from Choose to be Curious Hosted by Lynn Borton

Boredom: we've all felt it -- and chances are pretty good we don't really understand it. James Danckert Ph.D., professor and head of the cognitive neuroscience research area at the University of Waterloo, will persuade you boredom serves a purpose, and its interface with curiosity is especially intriguing. Boredom turns out to be really interesting! Our theme music is by Sean Balick. “Jat Poure” by The Sweet Hots, via Blue Dot Sessions.
