The average American watches 5 hours of TV every day.
Collectively, we spend roughly $30 billion on movies each year.

This entertaining book connects the dots between the stories we tell and the one great Story―helping us better understand the longings of the human heart and thoughtfully engage with the movies and TV shows that capture our imagination
