Are we living in an age where we are more boredom-prone? Or are other people boring us? Or could we be that boring person?! In our current information age, we are constantly connected to technology, and have so many varied ways to spend our leisure time that we should all surely never know what boredom feels like. Yet, boredom appears to be on the rise; it seems that the more we have to stimulate us, the more stimulation we crave. In a quest to relieve our boredom, we engage in dangerous risk-taking - from extreme sports to drugs to gambling to anti-social behaviour, or we overindulge in shopping or eating. The Science of Boredom explores the causes and consequences of boredom in the fast-paced twenty-first century. Parents are desperate to keep their children entertained during every waking moment, the education system is geared towards interactivity, and attention spans are dropping as we use multiple devices at all times. But the world of work can be increasingly repetitive and routine, and we are losing the ability to tolerate this everyday tedium. Using Sandi Mann's own ground-breaking research into boredom, this book tells the story of how we act, react and cope when we are bored, and argues that there is a positive side to boredom. It can be a catalyst for humour, fun, reflection, creativity and inspiration. The radical solution to the 'boredom problem' is to harness it rather than try to avoid it. Allowing yourself time away from constant stimuli can enrich your life. We should all embrace our boredom and see the upside of our downtime.

Sandi Toksvig was eight years old when she landed in America in the summer of 1966. She arrived with her English mother, Danish father, and her ten-year-old brother who had seen too many films and expected to be gunned down in the street. Switching from school to school, she eventually settled at Mamaroneck High and at the tender age of thirteen fell in love. With the theatre.The school production that year was The Skin of Our Teeth by Thornton Wilder. Sandi was one of three girls chosen to play Gladys Antrobus, and before long Gladys One, Gladys Two and Gladys Three had become firm friends. By the time of the play's performance, the 'Gladys Society' had stretched to twelve, to include every female member in the company and the drama teacher Miss Frey. Thirty years on, Sandi decided to return to the US to discover what happened to her fellow 'Gladyses' and, in the process, rediscover America. Part travelogue, part memoir, The Gladys Society is the often hilarious and sometimes moving account of her journey.
