Bored and Brilliant: How Spacing Out Can Unlock Your Most Productive and Creative Self by Manoush Zomorodi

Written by Leigh Martinuzzi

I am not sure after reading this book I am more brilliant or not. Perhaps that isn’t the purpose. It may be to open our eyes to how cluttered, busy and unnecessary our lives have become. In this book by Manoush Zomorodi, she takes the reader on a journey to unplug and disconnect from our digital lives. How to find greater productivity, creativity and original thought in boredom. It makes perfect sense although I am not sure I was entirely captivated.

If you feel you struggle with digital sabotage, the notion that tech controls you and not the other way around then you may just benefit from reading this book by Manoush Zomorodi. Enjoy!
