Charlie Brown argues that the key to breaking this cycle lies in embracing profound boredom, a deeper state of reflection that can lead to meaningful life changes.

Quotes to ponder:
"We are very, very good at stemming boredom with spending money."
"Shopping through boredom is about as far from a win-win situation as you can get. It’s expensive, you’ll probably regret it, and it’s not a long-term solution to your boredom."
"Stepping outside your house has two major boredom-blocking benefits. One, it stems superficial boredom in an easy, cheap way. Two, it’s well-documented that walking does things to your brain that nothing else can."
