Reviews for The Dark Side of Social Media: A Consumer Psychology Perspective

'Social media is the best thing since sliced bread. Or is it? This book peels back the curtain to examine the dark side of social media, when it makes us worse off, and what we can do about it. A great compendium of perspectives and insight.' -Jonah Berger, Professor of Marketing, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, USA; Bestselling Author, Contagious: Why Things Catch On 'This book provides a classic collection of informative chapters on the unintended consequences of using the social media. Specifically, the insights offered in the book throws a sharper light on why someone may have to think twice before using social media. A must read for all and a rude awakening for the society.' -V Kumar, Regents' Professor, Georgia State University, USA
