Stop Reading the News by Rolf Dobelli

In this provocative guide, Rolf Dobelli argues that consuming daily news degrades mental health, impairs critical thinking, and wastes precious time on irrelevant information. He asserts that modern news operates like digital sugar, triggering stress through sensationalism without offering genuine wisdom or actionable value. By eliminating news consumption entirely and replacing it with in-depth books, long-form essays, and deliberate focus, readers can regain clarity, peace of mind, and better decision-making skills.
