Though we have hundreds of entertainment options today. . .Western culture is battling an insidious disease, an epidemic of boredom. Richard Winter explores why some people are more likely to get bored than others- the indifference and the loss of meaning among youth- the attraction of extreme sports- how advertising promotes apathy- the link between boredom and addictions to violence and pornography. Not satisfied with mere description and analysis, Winter also offers practical ways to counteract boredom by learning to live with passion and wonder. So don't just turn on the TV, surf all the available channels and complain "there's nothing on." Instead, read this book .
