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

Bestselling author Rolf Dobelli presents his theory to a happier, heathier life: turn off the news. No really, he suggests it diverts your concentration, instills a misplaced sense of duty, increases anxiety and decreases your overall well-being. It all starts, and ends, with a click. With chapters like "News is to the mind what sugar is to the body" and "News makes us smaller than we really are," Dobelli has a take-no-prisoners perspective, though he does have a few thoughtful chapters at the end of the book considering ways we can still stay informed and civically engaged without constant consumption of the 24-hour news cycle.
