Propelled

In Propelled, Andreas Elpidorou explores how states like boredom, frustration, and anticipation—often viewed as negative—are actually vital to leading meaningful lives. Drawing on stories from literature, psychology, philosophy, and art, he argues that these emotional experiences reveal our desires and motivate us to seek fulfillment. The book suggests that embracing discontent can guide us toward genuine interest, value, and personal growth, challenging the idea that constant pleasure is always better.
