Alain De Botton on the news | Sydney Opera House

The news is everywhere and we check it constantly - but what is it doing to our minds?

A part of modern society that we take for granted, almost a replacement for religion, the news can be all consuming -- but at what cost to the individual? Alain de Botton, bestselling author of Religion for Atheists, dismantles our fixations and neuroses on a range of news categories in News: A User's Manual.

In The News: A User's Manual, De Botton shares the ultimate manual for our news-addicted age, one sure to bring calm, understanding and a measure of sanity to our daily (and sometimes even hourly) interactions with the news machine.
