On a recent edition of NPR's Science Friday the guest was Dr. Andrew Weil, author of his new book "Spontaneous Happiness". Dr. Weil says, "If you really want to find some feeling of peace and well being you have to turn off your TV and stop reading magazines and newspapers."
AMEN BROTHER! If you really want to know what's going on in Iran, for instance, one recent 300 page book that an author has spent two or three (and sometimes more) years researching and documenting will tell you more about the country, its people and why they hate the USA than a lifetime of 30 second soundbites designed to be outrageous and shocking so that they can entertain you long enough to sell you that toilet paper.
