No Customer Reviews
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. When is the last time you went more than an hour without looking at a screen? Most of us can hardly enjoy a moment of calm before yet another notification buzz interrupts our attention. As a result, we spend an average of eight hours a day staring at black mirrors. This lack of control wreaks havoc on our mental health, causing increased stress, depression, and anxiety, and ruining personal relationships. 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 use your phone's camera to spread stories worth tellingHow having a former reality TV star in the Oval Office has changed the scope of mediaWhy posting selfies on Instagram isn't going to change the world, and what you can post instead
