News Sobriety: The Benefits of Consuming Less News and More Books
AI Key Takeaways
- Ryan Holiday's book, Trust Me I'm lying, shed light on the state of the media and prompted the speaker to conduct a one-month experiment of consuming no current events.
- During the experimental month, the speaker replaced news consumption with reading books, resulting in a significant increase in the number of books read and an overall improvement in various aspects of life.
- Separation from news enabled the speaker to question the importance of information that others were panicking about, realizing that most of it did not truly matter.
- The news industry has successfully convinced people that staying informed through watching the news is a responsible citizen's duty, despite the fact that the information provided is often of low quality.
- The speaker's lack of interest in trivial information, commonly found in the news, leads to being bad at trivia but does not affect day-to-day experiences.
- Events that truly make a difference to the speaker's life eventually find their way into books, reinforcing the speaker's belief that most events are insignificant.
