Synopsis

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.

I only got about 3/4 of the way through this one (listening to it vs. reading the hard copy). While I understand the author's focus on job satisfaction as an indicator of happiness, it just wasn't what I was looking for. Not a terrible book, just not what I expected.......more
