We’re spending too much time sitting behind screens. First we’re at our desks for eight, maybe ten hours. Then, all too often, we get home and plop onto the couch for a few more hours of screen time. But what is the actual harm, and what can we do to limit—and maybe even reverse—the damage? We get answers from TED Radio Hour host Manoush Zomorodi, author of the new book “Body Electric: The Hidden Health Costs of the Digital Age and New Science to Reclaim Your Well-Being.”

Guests:

Manoush Zomorodi, host, NPR's "TED Radio Hour"; author, "Body Electric: The Hidden Costs of the Digital Age and New Science to Reclaim Your Well-Being"
