Publisher description
News is to the mind as sugar is to the body. How often do you check the headlines? How often do you scroll through your news feed? In 2013 Rolf Dobelli stood in front of a room full of journalists and proclaimed that he did not read the news. It caused a riot. Now he finally sets down his philosophy in detail. And he practices what he preaches: he hasn't read the news for a decade. Stop Reading the News is Dobelli's manifesto about the dangers of the most toxic form of information - news. He shows how it damages our concentration and disrupts our well-being, and how a misplaced sense of duty can misdirect our behaviour. He gives the reader guidance about the many potential gains to be had in a life without a 24-hour news cycle: less distraction, more time, less anxiety, more insights. In a world of increasing disruption and division, Stop Reading the News is a welcome voice of calm and wisdom
