Produktbeschreibung
The media's bias toward stories of conflict, violence, and division is bad for your health. In this book, Hal Urban shows how to find the positive and uplifting all around us. The news media thrives on bad news. In recent years, the political climate has become vitriolic and divisive, our country seems more polarized than ever, and news feels inescapable because technology has significantly increased its reach. People who like to stay informed need a lift. Most people are aware that what they eat greatly impacts their physical health: junk food is bad, vegetables are good. Hal Urban argues that we can nourish our minds by choosing how we consume news, and that when we surrender all that choice to media and external forces, we give up our growth, freedom, and mental health. Countless signs of progress and acts of kindness exist all around the world if you know where to look. And there are positive aspects in our own lives-family, friends, simple beauties, and everyday generosities-that we take for granted. This book helps readers understand that, as the late Zig Ziglar said, ''You are what you are because of what goes into your mind.''

Hal Urban explores how the media could be used for good, which is both timely and provocative. He reminds us that the good in the world needs more exposure and needs to be shared with others.

Hal Urban and I are on the same page. I like saying that real wealth comes from how you think and how you see the world. Life experiences will inevitably deliver bad news, but don t let the negative dictate the narrative of your life. Read Hal s book and train your mind to find your good news.
