Hey, this is Leo, for actualized.org.

And in this video, I'm going to talk about how to stop watching TV. Television.

10 years ago, if you would have asked me to shoot the video that I'm about to shoot, what you're about to watch, about television,

it would have blown my mind because where I was then compared to where I am now is so

radically different and my views on television have really changed a lot.

This video, even though it might sound like it's something very simple and very obvious,

you might have heard it many, many times before, don't dismiss what this video is going to show you.

Because if you watch television, the way that most Americans watch television nowadays, which is multiple hours per day,

multiple week, days per week, accumulating up to five to ten to fifteen hours of TV time per week, then actually this video right here might

be the single biggest personal development gain that you can make in your life.

Just by changing this one thing and stopping to watch TV.

I want to go into some of the details here about the challenges with TV, and I also want to make some finer distinctions

between what kind of TV is okay and what kind is not okay.

So let's crack into all that.

Television So let's crack into all that. Television is destroying your life. Pretty simple. Pretty simple statement. And this is not a statement that I would have agreed with 10 years ago because I was so

Immersed in television I love my movies I love my video games. I love my my TV shows I love my discovery channel my history channel I love my TV shows I love my discovery channel my history channel I love my TV news and watching all the politics and all the election

cycle news all that stuff I was very much immersed in it not only that but in my own mind I was telling myself this is actually a

a positive thing because I knew back then that people were espousing theories about

why TV is bad for you but I actually had counter theories to that in my mind.

And I'm saying actually TV is making me more worldly.

I'm seeing things on TV.

I'm learning stuff from the stuff that I see on TV that I wouldn't have otherwise
