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

<p><b><i>STOP READING THE NEWS </i>is a vital toolkit for managing the upsetting coronavirus news cycle and finding equilibrium and calm at a time of chaos and uncertainty</b> <p>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 <i>The Art of Thinking Clearly </i>finally sets down his philosophy in detail. And he practises what he preaches: he hasn't read the news for a decade. <p><i>Stop Reading the News</i> 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. <p>In a world of increasing disruption and division, <i>Stop Reading the News</i> is a welcome voice of calm and wisdom.</p>
