Is keeping Hollywood and the rest of pop culture a good way to be a happier person?

Question

I no longer listen to any popular music; in fact, I am on a Mozart diet this month. I also got rid of TV, so no more sitcoms. As for movies, I am learning more about Japanese, Australian, Polish, Italian, and German cinema.

I just find that my brain seems less polluted.

Has anyone else tried this? Is getting rid of pop culture a boost for one's mental health?

Answer 1

maybe but it's your own risk

Answer 2

You have successfully disconnected from the popular entertainment flood. I would offer my congratulations, but you've already reaped a wondrous benefit...a less cluttered mind. Way to go.

Answer 3

Its one way to disconnect from what is going on in the US. As long as you don't watch Fox News you should be ok.

Answer 4

Maybe it’s just that your brain needs a break from America?
