Topic: Social media uses algorithms designed to promote maximum engagement.It does this by showing posts to people who will engage (positively or negatively) - typically this is the same people over and over again. This creates an echo-chamber that distorts your reality - if left unchecked it can make you feel like the whole world is split (and viciously attacking each other) all around the issues closest to you.This will corrupt your thinking and is simply untrue.In this episode I break down how this happens and the impact it will have on your mental state, as well as how best to manage it.Book Chapter: ‘Bloodless Coup’ (00:14:10) ch: 7 of the Upgrade AnthologyIf this episode has resonated with you, I would love your support.Click here to find out more about my 1:1 coaching & counselling sessions.
