Agree. I particularly liked this part: “-Stay informed, but not inundated with news. Research has shown that obsessive attention to media coverage of tragic events increases stress and potentiates need for media seeking. It is important to stay apprised of the facts and become aware of preventative strategies. However, dont fall into the trap of convulsively following the news, feeding your brain nothing but negativity.”
Too many of us on FR have that “obsessive attention to media coverage.” It’s bad for you.
I learned the lesson of what too much news coverage does to your mind after 9/11. Some co-workers became concerned about my mental state and urged me to unplug.
Better tell Lookner.
