When was the last time you were bored? No, not that 30 second lift ride with no cell service. Properly bored. Whimsically looking out of a window bored. Can you even remember?

Rich and Matt look at the vital importance of boredom for our mental well-being and physical health. And discover how hard it is to achieve in the age of the attention economy.

In a world of cheap content and quick dopamine fixes, has silence and stillness become a luxury good reserved for the rich?
