News is bad for you – and giving up reading it will make you happier

News is bad for you. It leads to fear and aggression. It hinders your creativity and makes you sick. We should stop consuming it, says Rolf Dobelli, who's abstained for years

I read this article recently and I was just thinking about my news consumption and how much I want to be affected by it.

I feel like it is important because shit is going on in the world however I usually don’t change my habits much over it.

I also think that there should be a middle ground somewhere but I can’t think of it so if anyone of you have ideas please share them.

    I like the same idea about 1440, I am just looking for the same thing with more local and native language news, but I guess that would be setting my own RSS feed…

    But you are right, having just a short list of relevant news is perfect, and if you want to go deeper you can then move to a site like ground news or something else.

    I’ll try 1440 as I already have a catch-all email with a specific “newsletter@” filter.

      Ah, sorry to hear that.

      No idea, I signed up a few years ago now, and that’s as far into the actual site as I ever got.
