Five years ago or so I decided to study some history and I've been reading roughly 5-8 history books a year (mostly history since the industrialisation) and it has completely changed the way I read and contextualize news. I feel that I'm in a much better position to filter out the noise and to grasp the significance of some news that really contribute to major trends. This is on top of generally completely transforming my view of the world, can highly recommend anybody who wants a better understanding of our world to get into history.
