无聊几乎无处不在，但在某些时刻变得尤其危险；没有人能免受其害，只是一些人遭受更多。“无聊的人被一种欲望所折磨，却不知道满足这种欲望的条件是什么。”《我们为何无聊》从心理学出发，解剖无聊，而后解决无聊。
无聊是什么？怠惰、茫然，还是焦躁、不安？
是哪些外部和内部因素让我们感到无聊？
为什么有的人更容易感到无聊？
无聊倾向和体重超重、抑郁、犯罪之间有没有关系？
无聊是一件彻头彻尾的坏事吗？
如果说无聊是一个信号，那么它在提醒我们什么？
而我们，又应该如何反应，才能不掉进恶性循环？
从无聊的历史和含义，到无聊在不同年龄层、不同环境中的不同表现，再到无聊的成因与机制、无聊的反义词和流行化，本书为我们提供关于无聊的科学认知，然后给出无聊的解法。
在渐趋短平快的时代，社交媒体的信息流与短视频并非驱散无聊的解药，相反，它们更容易让我们困在一个永不停歇的仓鼠轮中。无聊是对意义、投入感和能动性的召唤，如何回应这一召唤，才是良方所在。
从正确认识外部环境与内部动机，到如何在信息过载的时代里，创造意义、建立心流，本书给出切实可行的方案，温和而不说教，带我们科学应对无聊。
No one likes to be bored. Two leading psychologists explain what causes boredom and how to listen to what it is telling you, so you can live a more engaged life.
We avoid boredom at all costs. It makes us feel restless and agitated. Desperate for something to do, we play games on our phones, retie our shoes, or even count ceiling tiles. And if we escape it this time, eventually it will strike again. But what if we listened to boredom instead of banishing it?
Psychologists James Danckert and John Eastwood contend that boredom isn’t bad for us. It’s just that we do a bad job of heeding its guidance. When we’re bored, our minds are telling us that whatever we are doing isn’t working–we’re failing to satisfy our basic psychological need to be engaged and effective. Too many of us respond poorly. We become prone to accidents, risky activities, loneliness, and ennui, and we waste ever more time on technological distractions. But, Danckert and Eastwood argue, we can let boredom have the opposite effect, motivating the change we need. The latest research suggests that an adaptive approach to boredom will help us avoid its troubling effects and, through its reminder to become aware and involved, might lead us to live fuller lives.
Out of My Skull combines scientific findings with everyday observations to explain an experience we’d like to ignore, but from which we have a lot to learn. Boredom evolved to help us. It’s time we gave it a chance.
