Reddit reviews The Information Diet: A Case for Conscious Consumption

You might find this book helpful, I did: The Information Diet: A Case for Conscious Consumption

You might feel like you intuitively already 'know' some of the concepts he covers, but for me it really helped crystallize them in my head and put them into practice.

Yes! The Information Diet is fantastic. The author argues that you need to treat the internet like eating. Sometimes you're allowed fast junk food (Reddit, etc) but you can't rely on that alone. You ned more substantive information.

If you're looking to reduce your media consumption, I would like to recommend the book The Information Diet

I bought it this week when I realized that I was addicted to facebook. I decided to take a week-long vacation from it while I decided the best way to break my addictive behaviors. right now I'm writing up a media "diet" regimen to help me increase my attention span.

not only does the book demonstrate ways of consuming media responsibly, but also to increase your civic responsibility by helping you identify and eliminate your personal biases.
