Dr. Lynda Ulrich speaks to us on a very important and timely topic involving our media-saturated society, and what happens to the brain when we impulsively click on negative news articles and videos on the internet. This is not to encourage ignorance; however, but rather to limit news intake to approximately 12 minutes and during midday, avoiding the time right after we wake up and right before we doze off to sleep. She discusses a Harvard study which found that exposure to less than 4 minutes of good news daily resulted in people feeling 18 percent more optimistic and 32 percent less anxious. Dr. Lynda is the founder of the "Goodness Exchange," a global website focused on conscious acts of kindness going on all over the world, a reminder that the world still has amazing human-beings who are doing amazing things.
