The Mirror Problem
How Social Media Destroyed Body Image, Self-Worth, and Identity
About this book
Social media promised connection and community, but delivered something far more complex: a mirror that reflects back a curated, often distorted version of ourselves. The Mirror Problem examines how social platforms affect body image, self-worth, identity formation, and social comparison, particularly among young people, and asks what authentic identity looks like in a world of performative profiles.
