The Power of Good News : Feeding Your Mind with What's Good for Your Heart
Paperback Edition: 1
The medias bias toward stories of conflict, violence, and division is bad for your health. Hal Urban shows how to find the positive and uplifting all around us.
What we eat greatly impacts our physical health. Hal Urban says that we can nourish our minds just like we nourish our bodies by choosing what information we consume. Urban explains why, due to neuroscience as much as economics, the media - left, right, and center - focuses mostly on negative stories. And he describes the psychological toll this takes on our mental health. But hes not suggesting we ignore these stories, just that we vary our diets.
We can find countless signs of progress and acts of kindness all around the world if we know where to look. And there are positive aspects in our own lives - family, friends, beauty, generosity, and progress - that we take for granted. Offering techniques he road tested as a teacher for thirty-six years, Urban helps readers become a conscious consumer of information, balancing sources like food groups.
If, as the late Zig Ziglar put it, "you are what you are... because of what has gone into your mind," then its in our best interest to choose positive, healthy, and uplifting input whenever possible. Urban shows how to do this with open eyes and an open heart.
