How Modern Media Destroys Our Minds: Calming the Chaos
by The School of Life Author
This guide navigates modern media and looks to help the reader stay sane in a media-saturated world. Navigating the media onslaught is overwhelming. We’re numb to daily news, images, and posts. As we scroll, we’re anxious, sleep-deprived, disheartened, and afraid.
This reassuring guide understands and combats media’s effects on our minds. It examines media’s peculiarities: obsession with scandal, novelty, envy, self-hatred, shorter attention span, fame, and proliferation across platforms. The goal is to free readers from media’s grasp, leading to a calmer, more generous, and imaginative state of mind. Modern media is often an illness; this is a potential cure.
