Let me begin with a confession – My blogging journey is highly influenced by the OG – Malini Agarwal. About 7 years back when I started my blog, I was highly inspired by her blog MissMalini. How could I miss the book written by my Inspiration. So, here I am, with the genuine review of the latest book by Malini Agarwal – Under the Influence. Malini is someone who knows the inside-out of social media.
What is “Under The Influence” All About?
The author, who has been using the internet for a long time, talks about how it’s been a learning experience for her. She’s been a big shot online, especially in entertainment and fashion. In this book, she talks about all the things she’s learned and mixes in some facts and research to help you survive the sometimes crazy online world.
The book begins by talking about different generations and how they behave online. It’s important to understand this stuff if you’re going to be hanging out online where everyone else is.
The author has tried out all sorts of social media sites over the years. Each one is different, with its own group of people. She’s learned a lot from using sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others. She talks about the mistakes she’s made and how things can get complicated if you’re not careful about what you say online.
Malini also talks about how being online can affect your mental health, especially if people are mean to you. She explains why people might act mean online and gives tips for dealing with them. She talks about some documentaries that show the bad side of social media.
But it’s not all gloom and doom. The author gives some positive advice for being successful online. She talks about being kind, standing up to bullies and reporting them if they won’t stop bothering you. She ends the book by saying that it’s important to treat others online the same way you’d want to be treated.
You could think of this book as a guide for beginners on how to use the internet well. The book is full of helpful tips from someone who’s been there and done that.
