Why do we crave peace and simplicity, yet panic the moment there’s nothing to do?
In this episode of Sufferless with a Part-Time Monk, Tim Tamashiro explores the surprising psychology and brain science behind boredom — and why our modern, over-stimulated lives have made stillness feel uncomfortable, even painful.
Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and personal stories from life before smartphones, Tim explains how boredom isn’t a flaw or failure of focus, but a vital signal from the brain. It’s the moment your mind is asking to downshift from constant consumption to integration, creativity, and emotional processing.
You’ll learn:
This episode is for anyone who feels overstimulated, mentally full but unsatisfied, or quietly exhausted by endless scrolling, notifications, and noise.

You need space.
Because boredom isn’t empty.
It’s where the mind catches up with your life.
🎧 Listen now and discover why learning to do nothing might be the most important skill you’ve forgotten.
