If you are often anxious or find it hard to sleep, or you regularly want to give up on your fellow human beings, the reason may come down to the relentless influence of the modern media. How Modern Media Destroys Our Minds is a guide for navigating the media today.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e The book encourages the reader to consider the many peculiarities of the modern media: its excessive focus on scandal, its emphasis on novelty, its capacity to breed envy and self-hatred, its high-minded defence of itself, its ever shorter attention span and its obsession with fame. The book teaches us how to liberate ourselves from the media, in order to achieve calm and a more generous, original and imaginative state of mind. We are shown how to redress the balance and emerge with a stronger, more positive outlook on life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Hardcover \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Published: UK, 2022\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Publisher: The School of Life Press\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLanguages: English \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Pages: 192\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 13: 9781912891887\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 10: 1912891883\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"The School of Life","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43657795502346,"sku":"","price":21.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/9781912891887.jpg?v=1659687416","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/how-modern-media-destroys-our-minds-calming-the-chaos","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
