This book by Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler investigates how social media has rewired our brains and how the algorithms designed to reward certain kinds of content can warp our values and self-perceptions, leading to anxiety and unhappiness.

Influenced is a must-read for anyone living in the age of social media. I read it for a deeper understanding of the world our kids are growing up in, but found it just as relevant and informative for adults. If you want to navigate the landscape of a world with social media then this book is the North Star you need to move through it in an informed, thoughtful way.

As someone with extensive experience in social media, I can say Influenced is the book you must read to understand social media and how it’s shaping our world in ways you don’t even know.

Sandra Lee, MD, Dr. Pimple Popper

Dr. Brian’s book Influenced should be essential reading for any parent whose child has a smartphone. To stick your head in the sand and say ‘I don’t get social media’ may have been okay 10 years ago, but the savvy parent/consumer/educator knows that social media is how many people receive their information these days. If you had told me I’d be an influencer or a ‘Real Housewife’ the year I graduated from medical school, I would have laughed. Well, I guess the joke is on me because now I understand the power of social media and hope to use my platforms to educate, inspire, and entertain.
