Love this Bob - 100% agree about cultivating a balanced (and diverse) media diet - as well pursuing diversity in book selection. That's a whole different article to write! Much of the content in news media and social media sources reinforces confirmation bias because it supports the business model. I'm a strong advocate of focusing more on reading thought-provoking books than news articles and expanding your reading selection to include authors and topics outside one's "filter bubble." This helps increase the diversity (specifically diversity of thought) of your network, which improves the quality of one's thinking, relationships, well-being, etc. Glad to see you helping to support this with Hearty!
