You already know social media isn't great for you. But do you know why — and what to actually do about it?
Social Media and Your Mental Health cuts through the noise with a clear-eyed look at what the science really says: not the alarming headlines, not the tech-industry spin, but the honest, nuanced picture that helps you understand your own experience. You'll discover how platforms are engineered to keep you hooked, why passive scrolling hits harder than active engagement, what the research shows about sleep, attention, anxiety, and the comparison trap — and crucially, which practical strategies actually work for real people in real life.
No lectures. No guilt. No advice to delete everything and move to a cabin. Just the tools, the research, and the self-knowledge to build a relationship with your digital life that you're actually in control of.
If you've ever closed an app feeling worse than when you opened it, this book is for you.
