Media Diet of Extraordinary People
Our brains aren’t designed to make you happy, but to survive. And the best way to survive is to seek out negatives. But 99% of the (negative) news has nothing to do with you. If you are worried all the time it will be impossible to become the best version of yourself.

- Instead of watching TV, you could read a book, go for a walk, or spend time with friends and family.
- Instead of scrolling social media, read ideas on Deepstash.
