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.

연습 팁

영어 발음 학교에서 shadow speak를 활용할 때, 영상을 보면서 영어 쉐도잉을 시도해보세요. 발음의 속도는 너무 빨라지지 않으므로, 당신의 페이스와 맞춰 함께 따라 읽는 것이 중요합니다. 처음에는 천천히 읽으며 기본적인 발음을 익히고, 점차 속도를 높여보세요. 다루고 있는 주제인 '심심함'에 대해 깊이 생각하며 일상 속에서 느끼는 불안을 영어로 표현해보는 연습도 도움이 될 것입니다.

예를 들어, 아침에 운동할 때 전자기기를 꺼두고, 자신의 생각에 집중해보세요. 이 과정을 통해 당신의 내면을 들여다보며 나오는 생각들을 영어로 말해보는 연습을 할 수 있습니다. IELTS 스피킹 연습 시에도 이러한 매일의 작은 번역 연습이 기반이 될 수 있습니다. 자신도 모르는 사이에 무의식 중에 떠오르는 생각들을 정확한 영어로 표현하는 것이 경험이 쌓이고, 자연스러운 대화를 나누는 데 큰 도움이 될 것입니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
