What's offered here is what we all know. Living everyday in the online world can lead to anxiety, stress, and more. It really offers nothing new that we haven't experienced and heard before. It reads like the countless uninspired articles you find in Fast Company and Inc Magazine. "Do this common sense thing and you should have less stress." Spend less time one your computer and phone and you'll be happier. Imagine that. No book needed.

This book is not what I thought it would be. I was anticipating ways of using social media less, not choosing which platforms one should use for their business. Thank you to Netgalley for this free ebook in exchange for an honest review.

I was excited to read this since I'm a huge fan of Cal Newport's "Digital Minimalism" and find this topic to be even more important in this pandemic/election year. It has a very academic approach and I found myself skimming the beginning chapters that discussed the basics of social media (hashtags, engagement, etc.). Overall, I could see it be useful for someone in tech education or curriculum building. For the general reader, there are more accessible titles available (such as "Digital Minimalism," "Indistractable," and "Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Account").

The books contents does not match the title contents of the book. So unfortunatley this book missed the mark for me.

I ended up not finishing this one due to the formatting issues. I figured it would be the perfect read for me right now during the pandemic and teaching hybrid. It didn’t deliver what I was looking for.

Logged In and Stressed Out somehow missed the mark for me. Based on the description, I had quite different expectations regarding the contents. Additionally, the formatting issues in the advanced electronic copy were just too distracting. I set it down before finishing.

Having said that, just because the book did not match up to my expectations does not mean other's won't enjoy it more than I did. It's a timely topic that may appeal to those who are more engaged in social media than I am.
