How’s this for irony: I’m writing a self-help book about something that is outside our individual control. What does it mean to care for our mental health when we choose to be online? I actually can’t tell you. I can’t prescribe a 5-step process that will make social media unproblematic. Our personal willpower gets scapegoated as the problem - when upstream surveillance capitalism and the attention economy profit from the manipulative design of digital platforms. So what’s the book about? It’s about how to grapple with a duality of usefulness and harm. It’s about finding a personal definition of time well spent. It’s about using creativity (yes, the book is full of art and writing prompts!) to navigate a digital landscape that is at odds with mental health.
