The Social Media Trap - How to Protect Your Mental Health in a Digital World

Social media was designed to connect us-but for many, it's doing the opposite. Anxiety, comparison, loneliness, and burnout are becoming the hidden costs of a life lived online.

The Social Media Trap - How to Protect Your Mental Health in a Digital World is a wake-up call and a guidebook for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the endless scroll. Backed by psychology, neuroscience, and real-world stories, this book reveals how digital platforms are engineered to hijack your attention, exploit your emotions, and subtly shape your self-worth-and more importantly, how to break free.

This isn't about quitting the internet. It's about reclaiming your time, focus, and emotional well-being in a hyperconnected world.

Inside, you'll learn:

• How social media affects the brain-especially dopamine, attention, and mood
• The links between screen time, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem
• The role of algorithms in creating addiction, polarization, and FOMO
• Practical strategies to set digital boundaries and reduce online stress
• How to curate a healthier online environment without disconnecting completely
• Tools for developing digital resilience, self-awareness, and mindful tech habits

Whether you're a parent, teen, professional, or everyday user, The Social Media Trap offers clarity in a confusing landscape. It empowers you to take control of your digital experience-and protect your mental health without giving up the benefits of modern connection.

Because your mind is too valuable to be managed by an algorithm.
