November 30, 2017

Indeed, 82% say that ‘without entertainment in my life I wouldn’t be me’ and an impressive 93% see entertainment as essential to health and happiness.From music to TV to film to live shows, it can feel as if we’re drowning in entertainment content and choices and yet, paradoxically, many feel as if they aren’t getting enough of it. 56% say they rarely feel entertained these days and half feel regularly under-stimulated by their environment.
