Publisher's Summary
News is to the mind as sugar is to the body.
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 the damage it does to our concentration and well-being and how a misplaced sense of duty can misdirect our behaviour.
From the author of the best-selling The Art of Thinking Clearly, Rolf Dobelli offers the listener guidance about 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.

A must for everyone!! Listen and share with as many people as you can
We are living in a time where news dominate our lives. They are mostly irrelevant, misleading, superficial and influenced by commercial interests and PR firms.
The constant exposure to the news are not good for our stress, and not good for our minds. This book is simple yet profound.
I have started my road to sobriety on my NA program (News Addicts)!!!

Refreshing and enlightening
What a great insight and perspective Rolf shares in this book. Not only do his insights apply to the news, you could also extend into social media. Highly recommend, a great read!
