Assuming that we can change and that stories are the measure, how do we help people capture their stories? Journalling - tedious for many? Videography, to techy? Perhaps that is where Social media has found its success. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Blogging sites have provided a 'capture my life' element which lends itself to increasing self awareness of our stories. Does this lead to happiness or self improvement? Perhaps marrying the Grant study with the Facebook experiment, which many were unknowingly subject to, would provide some additional insights on the longterm benefits of social media and storytelling. Are we happier if we use social media because it increases our ability to look at our own stories (at least our perception of them)? philnoreply@blogger.com
