Informed

di Ros Atkins (Autore)

Wildfire, 2027

We are surrounded by and overwhelmed by information, much of it junk. Just as diet, exercise, sleep and rest are crucial to living well, so we need to think about what our brain consumes each day, whether through news feeds, social media or what we encounter at work. Indeed, ultra-processed information is just as bad for us as ultra-processed food. We may not all be journalists or lawyers, but we all need to understand how to sift a piece of text or a conversation to know what's important. The Art of Information shows you how best to consume information, assess it, extract what's relevant, process large quantities of data, shape your digital feeds and spot untrustworthy sources. As the BBC's Analysis Editor, Ros Atkins reveals the secrets of how he does this in his professional life, but he also shows how the same rules apply to personal life too, in everything from reading an email, talking to a GP, choosing a news source, or sitting in a work meeting or a parent-teacher interview. If you want to think smarter, the only way to start is with a healthy information diet.
