abstaining from news television offers an astounding alternative lifestyle, away from the relentless barrage of headlines and pounding of updates. The pleasures of not being spoon-fed what passes as news are to be tasted to believe. Disconnecting from news TV hardly means becoming ignorant of the world — one soaks in more from newspapers, where events and happenings are presented in a manner akin to a laid out table for you to pick and choose, rather than the high-speed sushi conveyor belt that force-feeds you regardless of your interests, tastes or appetite. Constant exposure to sensationalised news stories can induce anxiety and stress. Therefore, it stands to obvious reason that avoiding such broadcasts allows for a sense of calm to prevail. This respite enables you to focus, to tastefully divide wheat from the chaff — to choose. It encourages you to be, well, intelligent.

Daniel Kahneman never took an economics course. But he received the 2002 Nobel Prize in economics for his work on 'Prospect theory'. Developed along with Amos Tversky, the theory suggested altering the way we consider our options when faced with risk.

Kahneman provided an explanation for a variety of perplexing behaviours, such as the reason for people's refusal to sell stocks that have lost value. How strange are biases? Well, most people would opt for the sure thing if given the option to choose between receiving ₹500 for certain, or having a 50% chance of winning ₹1,000. But if the choice is between losing ₹500 for sure, or a 50% chance of losing ₹1,000, most of us will take the gamble.
