What we choose to post (or not post) to social media — the moments we highlight, the wording of our captions — tells a story about who we are. Those stories, says author Kathryn Jezer-Morton, then shape key parts of our offline lives, like the milestones we value and who we maintain relationships with. Jezer-Morton joins us to talk about her new book: “The Story of Your Life: How Social Media Shapes the Way We Experience Everything.”

Guest:

  • Kathryn Jezer-Morton, columnist, The Cut, New York Magazine, author, “The Story of Your Life: How Social Media Shapes the Way We Experience Everything”
