An unfiltered look at the addictive properties of social media, TV,
and movies on our culture, with strategies to help you reclaim
control over your life. Today, the average person spends an
astonishing eight hours a day watching TV or videos online.
Watching social media stories, movies, and TV is now our number one
activity, outpacing everything else that we do, including sleep.
This habit has an incredibly powerful influence on our lives - from
what we think to what we buy to whom we elect. Media are more than
entertainment; they are a drug. This media addiction wreaks havoc
on our mental health, causing increased stress, depression, and
anxiety, and ruining personal relationships. It also drives us
deeper and deeper into debt. In Don't Watch This, former TV
producer and Ivy League professor Michael Rosenblum reveals the
hidden psychology driving us to media addiction. He describes why
solving the problem is not as simple as swearing off our devices,
but about learning how to use media for good. Rosenblum reveals the
key to getting the best out of technology, without letting it get
the best of you. Inside, you'll learn: How to take control of the
media How to use your phone's camera to spread stories worth
telling How having a former reality TV star in the Oval Office has
changed the scope of media Why posting selfies on Instagram isn't
going to change the world, and what you can post instead
Enlightening and empowering, Don't Watch This provides actionable,
revolutionary techniques and insight to control your media
addiction--helping you live the life you really want.
