Omschrijving

You say you don't have enough time. Then you spend four hours watching TV.

The screen is not neutral. Your TV, your phone, your social media feed, your inbox, your streaming service — every one of them was engineered by people whose job is to extract your attention and sell it. They are very good at their job. The average American spends more waking hours looking at screens than doing anything else, and most of them feel vaguely guilty about it and do nothing because they don't know where to start.

Turn Off the TV, Get Off Your Ass, and Do Something is the starting point. The first half documents exactly how each platform captures you — TV, news, social media, smartphones, email, streaming, TikTok, YouTube, gaming — and what that extraction is costing you in real terms. The second half is the practical side: how to move your body, build real friendships, make something, learn a skill that takes years, be somewhere without documenting it, and use technology without being used by it. Forty chapters. Thirty days to start.

The tools that are eating your life were built to be hard to quit. This book was written to make quitting easier.

Richard Lowe has published more than 113 books on technology, business, and American culture. He lives in Florida.

Turn Off the TV, Get Off Your Ass, and Do Something is part of the Enemies of You series — seven books documenting the forces operating against you from the inside out. Each book stands alone. Together they form a single argument about the forces trying to control and enslave you for their own purposes.
