Description
How to Be Online and Also Be Happy is your playful guide to using the internet in a rewarding, productive and meaningful way.
While spending time online can be one of the most fulfilling aspects of our lives, it's also a source of great discontent, addiction and anxiety. But there's no reason to believe that the internet itself is making us sad, it's the way we are using and engaging with it.
How to Be Online and Also Be Happy will teach you how to cultivate a conscientious and good-feeling relationship with the internet and social media. Offering tips and advice to help you approach this landscape, former internet addict Issy Beech will teach you how to set boundaries with your devices and show you how you can engage more purposefully, ultimately teaching you how to use the World Wide Web to make you happier.
The Survive the Modern World series tackles big subjects in a fun and digestible way. The tone is frank and chatty, but the content is comprehensive. Upskill and expand your knowledge with these accessible pocket guides.
