Drowning in Screen Time

A Lifeline for Adults, Parents, Teachers, and Ministers Who Want to Reclaim Their Real Lives

De: David Murrow

Narrado por: Mark Owen

Between Zoom meetings, online classes, social media, gaming, and binge-watching TV series, humans now spend most of their free time submerged in screen life - and that’s taking a toll on real life.

The good news is there’s a way back. Best-selling author David Murrow provides a rescue plan for parents, adults, teachers, and ministers who want to help others (or themselves) achieve screen-life/real-life balance.

Built around five simple parables, Drowning in Screen Time shows you what screens are doing to your family and relationships, why screen content is so addictive, and how to find freedom and confidence in real life.

Full of positive, practical ideas, it will teach you how to keep your digital head above water.

Read the book, don’t listen to it

I’m having trouble getting past this narrator’s voice. Too sarcastic sounding. Annoying. I just purchased the book. I’m halfway through the audio book but his voice is annoying.

interesting information

Loved the book. So much great information. very convicting. Was not a fan of the narrators voice and inflection.

Gets lost in long lists of examples forgetting it is going somewhere.

Great concept and good insights, however the author gets lost in long lists of examples forgetting it is going somewhere. It feels like the author is so excited about finding lists and parallels that the point of the book gets lost and it gets tedious.

7.5 hr Sunday School lecture why screens are bad

My professor required this book and I thought it might be interesting as I have a house full of kids who have some trouble separating from their screens at times - boy was I wrong!

I thought I had a high tolerance for painfully dull lectures but the incessant self righteous tone had me tapping out after a few hours. I got about halfway through, and may have been able to finish if I had not discovered an alternate book assignment.

The narrator is nauseatingly preachy and self righteous. If you have zero self esteem and like to be talked down to by a Sunday school teacher, by all means give this a listen. The teachings are done via “parables” and literary analogies. The overall message of being more present and aware of everything around you is not a bad one; but wrapping the message in fire and brimstone makes it very difficult to stomach.
