About this episode
Is boredom slowly killing you? Cognitive neuroscientist Dr. James Danckert joins Longevity Junky to break down the science of boredom—what it does to your brain, how it’s linked to depression, addiction, even heart disease, and why your response to boredom could affect your longevity. Plus, why some people shock themselves out of boredom (literally).
