无聊是一种日常现象，当现实未能如愿时，我们便会感到痛苦。我们都很熟悉这个感觉。它时不时地会降临到我们每个人身上，无论是以最简单、最短暂的形式，还是以深刻而持久的形式。我们甚至会集体感受到它。它带来的痛苦促使我们不惜一切代价去结束它。它的痛苦既是人类创造力的源泉，也是最邪恶的怪物的源泉。它可以被体验为一种病态，甚至可以被描述为一种疾病。然而，无聊只是一种症状。它的作用是提醒我们，我们与环境的关系已经受损。我们的责任是深入探究问题的根源并加以解决。在本书中，Josefa Ros Velasco 教导我们倾听无聊的声音，探索其根源，并利用现有资源引导我们的行动，回归最佳的满足状态。她通过一段旅程，展现了无聊体验的多面性，并探索了无聊在历史上扮演主导角色的不同领域。她还探索了无聊的本质，强调了无聊的功能，并分享了充分利用无聊的关键。《无聊病》是一段彻底改变我们感知和应对无聊的方式的旅程。
