On one hand, studying boredom involves the mental processes of attention, memory, perception, creativity, or language use; on the other, boredom can be understood by taking into account many pathological conditions such as depression, stress, and anxiety. This book seeks to fill the knowledge gap in research by discussing boredom through an interdisciplinary dialogue, giving a comprehensive overview of the past and current literature within boredom studies, while discussing the neural bases and causes of boredom and its potential consequences and implications for individual and social well-being. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters explore the many facets of boredom, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eUnderstanding the cognitive-affective mechanisms underlying experiences of boredom\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePhilosophical perspectives on boredom, self-consciousness, and narrative\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eHow boredom shapes both basic and complex human thoughts, feelings, and behavior \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAnalyzing boredom within Freudian and Lacanian frameworks \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBoredom Is in Your Mind: A Shared Psychological-Philosophical Approach\u003c\/i\u003e is a pioneering work that brings together threads of cross-disciplinary boredom research into one comprehensive resource.
