Body Electric: The Hidden Health Costs of the Digital Age and New Science to Reclaim Your Well-Being

Body Electric: The Hidden Health Costs of the Digital Age and New Science to Reclaim Your Well-Being

Manoush Zomorodi

From the award-winning journalist and NPR TED Radio Hour host comes a timely investigation into how screens and sitting are reshaping our bodies—and how a simple shift can change everything. In today’s world, a normal day means sitting in front of a screen for eight to ten hours. Meeting after meeting. Email after email. We leave our desks drained, overstimulated and unfocused, only to go home, sit down again, and scroll some more. The result? Headaches, back pain, restless sleep, and rising rates of preventable disease. We know technology is breaking us down—so why can’t we break away? It’s a question that Manoush Zomorodi has always wanted to answer. As the host of the NPR's TED Radio Hour and Body Electric podcast, she has interviewed experts, conducted citizen experiments, and sought out research about how our digital lives are changing the way we think, learn, and feel. Now, in Body Electric, she presents an eye-opening investigation into the impact technology and sedentary living has had on our bodies and brains, from breath and eyesight to blood pressure, posture, and productivity, and shares what science (and tens of thousands of participants in a groundbreaking study with Columbia University Medical Center) have taught her—it’s the small shifts, not the digital detoxes, that will make us healthier. And all we need is five minutes. Filled with perspective-shifting data and real-life applications and tools, Body Electric is the next must-read for fans of Four Thousand Weeks and The Anxious Generation, and anyone else feeling trapped by their technology.

  • What book character do you have the biggest crush on?

    Just a fun simple question I don’t think I’ve seen someone ask yet on here!

    I just read Katabasis, and Peter Murdoch made me kick my feet and go “heeeheeeheeeeee” ✨🐎🧚‍♀️ I love a nerdy and gangly guy. I also, however, would die for a glimpse of Cassian (ACOTAR) in real life. A CRUMB of attention from him.

    It’s so fun when a character feels so real that you can’t help but blush when they do something! Who makes you fangirl??? ✨🩷🤪🫶

    I did enjoy the book at first, I loved how weird and out there (and gay) it was, but I felt like it went on tangents in the wrong places. Like interesting plot would be RIGHT THERE and the story would run off in the other direction. But I still enjoyed the main character and there were some very interesting parts!

  • Tabletop RPGs

    I went to add some ttrpg books I read this year to my read list since I'm a DM and have read quite a few front to back (I feel some are so long they HAVE to count lol.) But I saw each of them had zero reviews or posts! Any readers here into tabletop games and would you count the rulebooks into your finished reads list?

    I love a good mystery but I don't think this would have been on my usual radar and I'm so glad I gave it a chance! I never wanted to put this book down but I also never wanted it to end. I found myself getting anxious the closer I got to the last chapters. Even as the mystery was coming to a close, I wanted to sit with these characters more.

    Every character was beautifully crafted, written so that even the ones you loathed, you can't help but feel some sympathy for. The shifting narratives and timelines within the mystery makes you constantly hungry for more while the story unravels deliciously slow. I'm still hungry, I still want more!

    I also want to note how subtle the queerness was within it but still so heavily present, I appreciated how normalized it was. I also always love the inclusion of characters with bigger bodies 🙏 my childhood looked so much like Tracy's and I rarely get to feel that way about a character.

    To summarize: AHHHHHHHH I loved this book!!!! so much!!!
