Unfiltered

How to Be as Happy as You Look on Social Media

By: Jessica Abo, Kelly Rutherford - Foreword

Narrated by: Lisa Larsen

Unfiltered: How to Be as Happy as You Look on Social Media is for anyone who needs to be reminded that we're all a work in progress, no matter what judgments we make when measuring our lives against what others share online.

In her debut book, award-winning journalist and sought-after speaker Jessica Abo addresses the relationship between our psychology and technology and how we can take back our happiness IRL (in real life) without falling into the compare-and-despair trap.

Jessica helps you push the reset button with bite-sized chapters full of practical insights from experts and psychologists, as well as funny anecdotes and inspiring stories from celebrities like Alysia Reiner of Orange is the New Black and Baked by Melissa CEO Melissa Ben-Ishay. You'll learn how to: identify what's really at the root of your unhappiness; stay positive when you're feeling lost and rejected; build a life that makes you happiest; navigate toxic relationships and inevitable friendshifts; master the art of letting go; and turn setbacks into stepping stones.

For Teenagers and Young Adults (Maybe)

There may be some guidence and good advice for a younger audience but at 35, the content simply did not connect with me and the advice is nothing I don't know already or have experienced more. Also, the constant #this and #that was extremely annoying. IMO its alright to do that on social media or once in a while in a book but not constantly. It just got ridiculous. There's a reason why this author said in the beginning it took a long time for her to comeplete this book because it is just filler after filler with no substance. I don't recommend this book and I think if you want good "Unfiltered" life advice there is a plethora of superior books to look to. This was a giant pass for me.
