A creatively active workbook for developing a conscious and healthy relationship with the world of social media

Do you wish you could just quit social media? You're not alone. "Social media is woven into so many aspects of our daily lives," says Amelia Knott, "but it is not designed with our psychological well-being in mind. Social platforms--along with news sites, e-commerce, and other methods of digital connection--are built to exploit our vulnerability."

Thankfully, it is possible to create a conscious relationship with the online world, one that allows you to enjoy the many benefits of that connection, while also feeling a sense of awareness and choice.

The Art of Thriving Online goes far beyond "digital detoxing," with innovative methods for counteracting manipulative, compulsive, and stress-inducing aspects of social media while preserving the goodness of your time online. The foundation of her method is creativity--she provides a playful, interactive place to explore the impact social media has on you and shift to a more positive, health-promoting approach.

Through creative activities, reflections, therapeutic art, writing prompts, and more, you'll learn how to safely process emotions through the forms of personal expression suited to your unique style.

"Our digital lives are meaningful," says Knott, "and we can show up online while also caring for our mental health." Here is a "gentle manifesto" for establishing new habits and boundaries that make you feel truly well--online and off.
