Boredom: The Tedium is the Message

Tom Lutz's 18-year-old son, Cody, spent day after day just lying on the couch, Lutz was surprised how angry it made him that his son was doing nothing. So Lutz decided to do something about it. He wrote a book about the history of doing nothing in America. In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge, we'll talk about doing nothing, as we take an exciting look at boredom. Also, we'll wax philosophical about boredom, or "the root of all evil," as Kierkegaard described it.
