The Information Diet: A Case For Conscious Consumption

by Clay A. Johnson

Kindle Edition Paperback Hardcover

"The Information Diet: A Case For Conscious Consumption" by Clay A. Johnson is a book about dealing with the overwhelming amount of information available to us and how we can be more mindful about what we consume. The author argues that just like our physical diet, we need to be selective about what we consume in terms of information and consciously choose which sources of information are good for us. By doing so, we can avoid falling into echo chambers and filter bubbles, where we only hear information that confirms our biases. The author also provides practical tips on how to curate our information intake, such as avoiding sensational headlines, diversifying our sources, and fact-checking. Overall, "The Information Diet" advocates for a more mindful and intentional approach to consuming information in an era of information overload.
