Get Reel: Produce Your Own Life Nancy Mramor, Ph.D.
Introduction: Why Get Reel? Before you click the remote one more time, let me tell you that media is one of the top three things that shape your life. Let me also tell you that this news could be the best news you have ever heard, if you know what to do with it! Think of the power you have will have to make decisions! After your parents and teachers, the television, Internet and movies shape what you think, who you become and your level of happiness. It is also one of the most powerful teachers because it reaches you in a receptive state, often without letting you in on what it is teaching.
To understand how Get Reel could give you the power to run your life, understand that your TV, movies and the Internet do not change your perception of reality by itself. The creators provide the content and they produce what they know you will consume. They also present information in such a way that you continue to consume. You are all partners in crime, viewers, producers and consumers who drive the content. But the way in which the content is driven can shape the way that you think and live. So who’s in charge of your beliefs, you or your TV/computer? Right now, the TV/ computer screen with its seductive convenience and 24 hour availability. But in the end, it will be you, most of the time. And when it’s not, you will know how to take back control. Ready to produce your own life? Get Reel is the most illuminating life-changer for exposing what you have learned and how you can learn from the vast menu of fascinating viewing choices while filtering out messages that will hook you into a false decision about life. You get to become the decision maker, and determine what you want to absorb and what you could do without. When you have read Get Reel and completed the activities in the book, you will be a wise consumer who is unlikely to absorb messages unconsciously that you don’t need. Think of yourself as a detective who solves the mystery of what lies beneath the programs that you watch. Discover your inner James Bond, Ace Ventura, Dick Tracy, Patrick Jane or Sherlock Holmes. Wearing the appropriate trench coat while reading is optional.

In a media-heavy world, you can be the producer of your life and learn how to view TV, movies, and the Internet consciously and stop being influenced by the hypnotic effects of their messages.
