What We Are Reading Today: ‘The Disease of Boredom’ by Josefa Ros Velasco

Boredom visits all of us at some point. Sometimes it is fleeting. Other times it is deep, lasting, or profound. We even experience it in groups.

Boredom can be so intolerable that some are willing to do almost anything just to escape it. In this provocative and eloquently argued book, Josefa Ros Velasco invites us to listen to the voice of boredom, explore the reasons behind it, and allow it to guide our actions and return us to a place of satisfaction.

She shows how boredom is a phenomenon that torments us when reality does not meet our expectations.
