Believe Them the First Time: Rethinking Your Relationship with Social Media for More Mindfuness
When was the last time you closed a social media app feeling better than when you opened it? In Tip #40 of 25 Lessons in 25 Years, Michael moves up a tip he had been saving for December. The night before recording, he saw The Social Reckoning, Aaron Sorkin’s new film about Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen. Michael is honest about loving to hate social media. He needed it to build his coaching business after leaving corporate America. He watched his daughters get pulled into the comparison trap of Instagram, and he noticed his own mental health dip during heavy-scroll weeks. He also shares the answer he's heard from nearly 10,000 people when he asks how they would spend an extra hour in their day. Not one of them said more time on social media.
