1
You need to be bored.
2
You will have less meaning and you will be more depressed if you never are bored.
3
I mean, it couldn't be clearer.
4
Let me give you the good side of boredom in general.
5
Boredom is a tendency for us to not be occupied otherwise cognitively,
6
which switches over our thinking system to use a part of our brain that's called the default mode network.
7
That sounds fancy.
8
It's really not.
9
The default mode network is a bunch of structures in your brain
10
that switch on when you don't have anything else to think about.
11
So you forgot your phone,
12
you're sitting in a light, for example.
13
That's when your default mode network goes on.
14
We don't like it.
15
My colleague in the psychology department here at Harvard,
16
Dan Gilbert, he did experiments where people had to sit in a room for 15 minutes with instructions to do absolutely nothing.
17
And there was nothing in the room to do,
18
except there was a button in front of them that they could push,
19
and if they did, they gave themselves a painful electric shock.
20
Sit there bored or get a shock.
21
A big majority of the participants gave themselves shocks instead of thinking about nothing.
22
We don't like boredom.
23
Boredom's terrible.
24
Why is boredom so bad?
25
Well, because the default mode network makes us think about things that might be kind of uncomfortable.
26
When you think about nothing,
27
well, your mind wanders and thinks about,
28
for example, big questions of meaning in your life.
29
What does my life mean?
30
You go to kind of uncomfortable existential questions when you're bored.
31
That turns out to be incredibly important, incredibly good.
32
One of the reasons that we have such an explosion of depression
33
and anxiety in our society today is because people actually don't know the meaning of their lives,
34
much less so in previous generations.
35
Tons of data show this.
36
And furthermore, we're not even looking.
37
Why not?
38
I'll tell you why not.
39
We figured out a way to eliminate boredom.
40
We've been able almost completely to shut off the default mode network in our brains.
41
How?
42
The answer is that thing in your pocket with the screen,
43
which you take out even when you're standing on the street corner waiting for the light to change.
44
It's like, I might have to wait here for 15 seconds.
45
What are you doing?
46
You're actually trying to not be bored
47
because the default mode network is mildly uncomfortable
48
because it sends you to the types of questions that you can't get your mind around,
49
you can't get your arms around around.
50
Well, that's a big problem.
51
That's a doom loop of meaning.
52
If every time you're slightly bored,
53
you pull out your phone,
54
it's going to get harder and harder for you to find meaning.
55
And that's the recipe for depression and anxiety and a sense of hollowness,
56
which, by the way, are all through the roof.
57
I get it.
58
You don't want to be bored.
59
You need to be bored.
60
Be bored more.
61
Tomorrow, when you go to the gym in the morning after you wake up,
62
don't take your phone.
63
Can you handle it?
64
Not listening to a podcast while you're working out?
65
Just being in your head?
66
I promise you, you'll have your most interesting ideas while you're working out without devices.
67
It's probably been a long time since you've done that.
68
Commute with nothing, not even the radio.
69
Can you do that?
70
Start getting better at periods that are 15 minutes and longer of boredom and watch your life change.
71
Number one, you'll be less bored with ordinary things in your life.
72
If you get better at the skill of boredom,
73
you'll be less bored with your job.
74
You'll be less bored with your relationships.
75
You'll be less bored with the things that are going on around you.
76
But more importantly, you'll start digging into the biggest questions in your life.
77
Purpose, meaning, coherence, significance, and who knows?
78
You might just get happier.
79
People ask me all the time,
80
is the doctor taking his own prescriptions?
81
And the answer is yes.
82
Yes, I am.
83
I'm prone to the same pathologies as anybody else because I have the same brain chemistry as everybody else.
84
So what do I do to fight that?
85
And the answer is, well,
86
I do a number of things.
87
I have a no device policy after seven in the afternoon.
88
I don't sleep with my phone.
89
We don't have devices when we have meals in my family because we're there for each other.
90
We're not there for people who aren't there.
91
Three, I have regular social media and screen cleanses where I don't use my device for longer periods of time.
92
First, it's like children screaming in my head.
93
Well, because that's how dopamine is saying,
94
get the phone, get the phone.
95
That's addiction.
96
But it calms down, and I feel better,
97
and I feel blessed by the end.
98
And I pick the phone up by the end because I have to check my emails,
99
and I have to be a normal,
100
functioning, connected person in the world.
101
But it does remind me that my life doesn't have to revolve around these devices.
102
These protocols are really, really helpful and I recommend them to anybody and everybody.
103
Don't sleep with your phone,
104
no phones during meals, regular social media fasts, you'll get better.
105
People worry that if they do these things, they're gonna miss something.
106
There are ways that you can remedy that.
107
One of the things that you can do is you can have your phone on,
108
you're just not looking at it,
109
and there's only one or two numbers that can reach you in case of emergencies.
110
Phones can do that, by the way.
111
If you don't know how to do that, ask your kid.
112
But don't use emergencies as an excuse.
113
Here's something that's not an emergency.
114
What's going on on Twitter?
115
That's not an emergency.
116
Answer, nothing.
117
It doesn't matter.
118
The news can wait.
119
Seriously, your grandparents didn't know what was going on every single second in Washington, DC.
120
You're killing yourself with this stuff.
121
Are you kidding me?
122
It's bad for you.
123
So let me say it straight to my kids.
124
Put down your phones.
125
You need more meaning in your life.
126
And so do I.
127
Thank you.

Kontext & Hintergrund

In dem Video "Du musst dich langweilen. Hier ist der Grund." erklärt Arthur Brooks die Bedeutung von Langeweile in unserem Leben. Er argumentiert, dass ständige Ablenkung, insbesondere durch Smartphones, uns daran hindert, tiefere Gedanken über bedeutende Fragen in unserem Leben zu entwickeln. Unsere Fähigkeit, Langeweile zu tolerieren, kann uns helfen, das Leben besser zu verstehen und den Sinn zu finden, was wiederum Depressionen und Angstzustände reduzieren kann. Langweiliges Zuwarten oder das Nichtstun sind Gelegenheiten, in denen unser Gehirn in den „Default Mode Network“ übergeht, was uns ermöglicht, unsere Gedanken zu reflektieren und kreativ zu grübeln.

Top 5 Phrasen für die tägliche Kommunikation

  • „Es ist wichtig, bei Langeweile nachzudenken.“
  • „Ständiger Input führt zu weniger bedeutungsvollen Gedanken.“
  • „Wir sollten Zeiten der Langeweile zulassen.“
  • „Langeweile bildet einen Zusammenhang zu existenziellen Fragen.“
  • „Uns von Geräten zu trennen, kann kreativität fördern.“

Schritt-für-Schritt Shadowing-Leitfaden

Um Englisch sprechen zu üben und die Konzepte aus diesem Video effektiv anzuwenden, folgt hier ein Leitfaden für das Shadowing, perfekt für Englisch lernen mit YouTube:

  1. Video auswählen: Wähle eine kurze Passage von Arthur Brooks' Vortrag aus, idealerweise 1-3 Minuten lang.
  2. Aktives Zuhören: Höre dir den Abschnitt einmal ohne Ablenkungen an. Achte auf die Betonung und den Rhythmus seiner Sprache.
  3. Wiederholung: Spule das Video zurück und pausiere nach jedem Satz oder Satzteil. Versuche, die Sätze nachzusprechen – dies ist auch als shadowspeak bekannt.
  4. Verstehen und Reflektieren: Achte darauf, was Brooks sagt. Überlege dir, was Langeweile für dich bedeutet und wie du sie in deinem Leben integrieren kannst, während du Englisch sprichst.
  5. Regelmäßiges Üben: Integriere Schatten sprechen in deinen Alltag. Übe nicht nur mit diesem Video, sondern auch mit anderen Inhalten, um deine Fähigkeiten im Englisch Shadowing zu verbessern.

Wenn du dein Hörverständnis und deine Sprechfähigkeit durch gezieltes Englisch sprechen üben verbesserst, wirst du merken, dass sich auch deine Denkprozesse vertiefen. Lass Langeweile zu und finde kreative Wege, deine Gedanken zu entwickeln!

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
