         | I think there's value in talking extensively to 15 people and
         | writing a paper reflecting on their different human
         | experiences. The paper even handily posits a hypothesis on the
         | role of boredom in everyone's life.

         | Thank you for posting this. I was daunted by the jargon in the
         | abstract, and came here to see if it was going to be worth my
         | time.

           | I think the abstract is pretty clear about the semistructured
           | interviews though? I didn't feel lied to as a reader at
           | least.

         | seriously, you can read a summary of an interview of 15 people.
         | I downloaded the epub. This line sold me to read it.

         | >In this article, we coin the term 'mundane emotions' to draw
         | attention to everyday routines and the distinctive emotions
         | that flow from them (De Certeau 1988; Lefebvre 2004). For
         | example, commuting, cleaning or cooking routines, for some, may
         | provide precious moments of comfort and calm after the daily
         | grind. These very same routines may leave others feeling empty
         | and bemoaning the absence of spontaneity, excitement and joy in
         | their lives
