Summary: | In Living Outside the Box, hundreds of TV-free families share their great discovery--that life without television is anything but boring "This new book goes "outside the box" by focusing not on what's wrong with too much TV time but on what's right about limiting or eliminating the tube from our lives. Her interviews, surveys, and studies, involving more than a thousand participants, have given her a wealth of information about who's not watching TV and why. As it turns out, screen-free folks look, sound, and act much like the rest of us, with one vital exception. They have a lot more time to engage in the activities they most value, whether it's spending time with family, reading, playing instruments, exercising, or any of the many other pursuits that our TV habits often displace."--BOOK JACKET |
