News is bad for you – and giving up reading it will make you happier
Think twice
“I don’t know a single truly creative mind who is a news junkie — not a writer, not a composer, mathematician, physician, scientist, musician, designer, architect or painter. On the other hand, I know a bunch of viciously uncreative minds who consume news like drugs. If you want to come up with old solutions, read news. If you are looking for new solutions, don’t.”
I have given up my daily news fix for about 8 weeks now
The only daily news I indulge in is the weather forecast I ignore everything else
And I have to say I'm a happier person for it
