day-to-day thinking. But by knowing what they are and how to
identify them, we can avoid them and make better choices. The Art

gadgets, or more frantic activity--all we need is less
irrationality. Simple, clear, and always surprising, this book will
change the way you think and transform your decision making. From
why you should not accept a free drink to why you should walk out
of a movie you don't like, from why it's so hard to predict the
future to why you shouldn't watch the news, The Art of Thinking
Clearly helps solve the puzzle of human reasoning.
The indispensable life manual from the author of the international
bestseller, The Art of Thinking Clearly. 52 intellectual short-cuts
for wiser thinking and better decisions, at home and at work. They
may not guarantee you a good life, but they'll give you a better
chance. Since the dawn of civilization, we've been asking ourselves
what it means to live a good life: how should I live, what will

toolkit of mental models, a guide to practical living.
A vital toolkit for managing the news cycle and finding a happier and calmer life at a time when the news is more upsetting than ever
STOP READING THE NEWS is a vital toolkit for managing the upsetting coronavirus news cycle and finding equilibrium and calm at a time of chaos and uncertainty
In 2013 Rolf Dobelli stood in front of a roomful of journalists and proclaimed that he did not read the news. It caused a riot. Now the author of the bestselling The Art of Thinking Clearly finally sets down his philosophy in detail. And he practises 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. Most importantly, he offers the reader the guidance on 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.
