📖 Stop Reading the News. A Manifesto for a Happier, Calmer and Wiser Life

In 2013 Rolf Dobelli stood in front of a roomful of journalists and proclaimed that he did not read the news. It caused a riot. Now the author of the bestselling "The Art of Thinking Clearly" finally sets down his philosophy in detail. And he practises 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 the damage it does to our concentration and well-being, and how a misplaced sense of duty can misdirect our behaviour. Most importantly, he offers the reader the guidance on how to live without news, and the many potential gains to be had: less disruption, 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.
