Social media has become an inseparable part of our daily lives; we spend long hours on it without even realizing it. Despite the opportunities it has provided for communication and access to knowledge, it has also brought profound challenges ranging from addiction and digital isolation to constant comparison and psychological pressures that affect our mental health and relationships. In this podcourse with Dr. Emad Rashad, we uncover the hidden side of social media and seek to understand its impact on our minds and inner selves, and how it has become one of the defining issues of our time. We will dive deep into what happens behind the screens: Why are we unconsciously drawn in? How do algorithms capture and hold our attention? And why do we feel anxious or lonely despite having thousands of followers? We will discuss concepts such as the digital self, constant comparison, fear of missing out (FOMO), digital burnout, and the construction of false images, while also examining the most dangerous digital trends and challenges. The goal is not to attack technology, but to build awareness that enables you to use it without being consumed by it and to regain control of your digital life with balance and clarity.
