Why Are We Bored? (with John Eastwood)

In this episode, David Yokum sits down with John Eastwood, co-author of Out of My Skull: The Psychology of Boredom and Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology at York University to discuss his research on boredom and its association with the unengaged mind.
