Join us on this episode as we explore "The Lost Art of Being Bored." Discover the science behind your brain's "default mode network" and why these "uninvolved" moments are not empty space, but fertile ground for creativity, problem-solving, and genius. We'll discuss how our hyper-connected lives may be holding us back and offer simple, practical tips to reclaim the power of quiet contemplation.
