Description

Four hours a day watching television is more than a 24-hour day per week for many Britons. This staggering figure highlights just how deeply ingrained our love affair with the small screen has become.

Dr Aric Sigman's insightful assessment of our nation's relationship with television reveals a disturbing reality: the alarming impact it has on our physical, emotional, intellectual and social well-being. From slowing our metabolic rate to stunting children's brain development, the evidence is compelling.

This book is not just an indictment of the dangers of watching television, but a call to action to re-establish control over our lives. Sigman aims to draw attention to the glaring imbalance in our viewing habits and show us how we can break free from the remote control's influence.
