Origins of the Low Information Diet.

[Spud]

Does anyone know the origins of the concept of the low information diet?

I thought it was Tim Ferriss in "The 4 Hour Work Week."

I did a Google search and it does seem that it was originally from Tim Ferriss "4 hour work week", but I did see a site called lowinformationdiet.com that has a seminar that you pay money to do.  It actually did look kind of interesting, but of course I'm not going to pay for it. 

Thanks for posting this.  Now I have something else to read about!  I probably need this because I think I suffer from information overload.  I read a lot about a lot of things, but they never seem to sink in.

Yeah, I heard about it in this pretty old book called the torah.

But even Ferris in one of his blogs or podcasts referenced where he got it from.  Don't recall however, sorry.

I guess I didn't realize this concept had an official title and all. To me, it's just common sense. If you don't know about it, you can't worry about it! So all things non-essential to my life or job (especially careful at work), I try really hard not to listen in on.

MMM has a post about this too.

I actually kind of follow this as I don't watch the news anymore because mostly it is about robberies, murders, fires, and things I have no control over.
