148 | Browsing for Happiness: How Instagram Culture is Making Us Unwell
Reclamation of our attention — of our lives — is possible.
This episode is something a little bit different. It is the reading of an essay I recently published, outlining the many ways I believe social media (and Instagram in particular) is hurting us all right now, and why I have decided to close my account and move my business off of the app.
If you have noticed, from a vague intuition to an empirically felt sense, that this app might be interfering with your personal (or our collective) sense of wellbeing in any way, I hope you take some time to give it a listen.
