How to escape the aimless malaise of languishing and find your flow
In short: If you feel uninspired, aimless, or find yourself joylessly scrolling through news feeds, you may be languishing. Organizational psychologist Adam Grant explains this common psychic malaise and offers three strategies to move past that stagnant feeling.
Adam Grant explores the concept of languishing, a state of feeling 'meh' that became increasingly prevalent following the pandemic. This condition is characterized by a lack of inspiration and a tendency toward aimless activities, such as binge-watching television or doomscrolling.
