Socially Aware: Making It Through the Day with a Smile

Do you live for likes, follows, and so-called friends on social media? Do you worry that the highlight reel of your life isn't as dazzling as the next person's? Do you have a fear of missing out? You're not alone. We get yanked down into a viper pit of social networking and fall prey to disinformation campaigns. This isn't who we are. What's happening to us?Behind the scenes, tech companies are manipulating our thinking and behavior. They create algorithms that keep us coming back for more, keep us clicking, keep us engaged to drive sales and advertising. But is it serving us? Higher social media use is linked to declining mental health and life satisfaction. Happiness has become fleeting-almost as if we've forgotten who we are. How can we get back to our better selves and fix what's broken? By turning the tide of the happiness and loneliness epidemics. The true formula for happiness will surprise you. It's not what you expect, nor what most people pursue. Long-lasting happiness comes from things that bring intrinsic satisfaction, such as financial stability with work-life balance, and cultivating consciousness without mood-altering substances or distractions.Socially Aware exposes shocking truths about our world and gives you roadmaps for navigating the tricky terrain of social networking, disinformation, and manipulation. It reveals the secrets to thriving in the age of social media. Most importantly, it shows you how to live the life of your dreams so that you're smiling at the end of each day.
