Introduction

Lisa Nicole Bell sits down with Dr. Erin Westgate to talk about her research on boredom, interest and why some thoughts are more engaging than others. This is one of my favorite conversations of this season; it's the tinnish of all the episodes I've ever done. Part of the reason is because Erin is an academic who is vulnerable and refreshingly transparent about her own journey. The conversation deep dives on those topics and others, including Erin's journey, what she calls productive procrastination,. And why values driven living is really a prerequisite for lasting happiness.
