TV and Life Satisfaction

The average Brit spends the equivalent of two months a year watching television. In many countries, people spend almost as much time watching TV as they do working. Study after study show that people experience less pleasure while watching TV than while engaging in more active forms of leisure. Just keeping the telly off for one night a week is enough to boost happiness. So moving house, buying an expensive car and getting a bigger TV aren't going to bring you much joy.
