Four reasons you should stop watching the news | Rolf Dobelli

For Rolf Dobelli, quitting the news started off as an experiment -- until he realized it improved his life. He encourages us to go deep instead of broad when it comes to keeping up with current events. Listen in to the top reasons he stopped tuning in and the way he did it. TEDArchive presents previously unpublished talks from TED conferences. Enjoy this unedited talk by Rolf Dobelli. Filmed at TED University 2011. NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, YouTube’s comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We’d love to see this change, YouTube.) So for now, if you’d like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or
