Note to Self is a lighthearted and engaging illustrated self-help book that aims to raise awareness about the effects Instagram can have on users’ well-being and provide users with self-care tips.

About the Book

Research has shown that young adults who use social media, especially photo and video-based platforms like Instagram, experience changes in behaviour and eroded psychological well-being. Social media has had a significant influence in how our society behaves and how people perceive their lives in comparison to others. Note to Self was designed for frequent Instagram users, especially those who may be feeling down about their time on social media. This book is organized into five Note to Self sections for when you’re scrolling through Instagram, providing information and illustrated self-care tips along the way. Each chapter ends with a quote from real submissions people sent in when asked how Instagram has influenced their mental health.
