{"product_id":"bored-jen-gash-9798377545187","title":"Bored.: Why we need something to do every day (and what happens if we don't)","description":"This book explores the strange thing we call \"boredom\", the nature of people as human \"doings\" and argues that the description \"human being\" is rather misleading. We wake up every morning, thinking \"what do I have to \"\u003cb\u003edo\u003c\/b\u003e\" today?\". At work we ask each other \"what did you \u003cb\u003edo\u003c\/b\u003e at the weekend?\". We introduce ourselves to new people by asking \"and what do you \u003cb\u003edo\u003c\/b\u003e?\". The things we do or don't do, shape our wellbeing with chronic boredom having devastating effects. Our \"busyness\" and desire to escape boredom, shapes us and our world, it creates identity and social connection and impacts on the economy, capitalism, and the environment. On a lighter note, there are also bits about sex, relationships and shopping. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter 1: Human being or human doing?\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Boredom: the good, the bad and the ugly \u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Boredom and wellbeing \u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Boredom and the creation of economy \u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: Boredom and the impact on the environment \u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: A way forward\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jen Gash\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8377545187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798377545187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.29d","brand":"Jen Gash","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44761416925439,"sku":"9798377545187","price":11.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_336905f5-70ce-4047-9a09-e39ad9f72ba2.jpg?v=1706681263","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bored-jen-gash-9798377545187","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
