⚡️🔎 NEWS - Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit social media. This was the largest study on emotional health in history.

The results were so shocking, scientists called it "comparable to therapy."

Participants didn’t just feel better.

They were measurably happier, less anxious, and less depressed.

• Facebook users saw a 6% improvement in emotional well-being

• Instagram users saw a 4% improvement

And not only that...

The researchers found that:

• Quitting Facebook was 15% as effective as therapy

• Quitting Instagram: 22% as effective

• Both eliminated over half of this election-related stress.

That’s massive for something as simple as logging out.

➤ As Psychologist Angela Duckworth put it: Our cell phones are “adult pacifiers.”

But her real point is deeper: Don’t rely on willpower. Change your environment instead.

She calls it situation modification.
