Manoush Zomorodi: How Boredom Leads to Brilliance

via Lewis Howes

An interview with author Manoush Zomorodi about her new book How Boredom Leads to Brilliance.

This time away from everything gives us the space we need to think creatively and come up with good ideas. I think this message is especially relevant in an age where smartphones and the internet encourage constant connection and round-the-clock working.
