Lancet that found one in three kids is seriously hooked on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and X. They’re not just casually browsing either—many are obsessively counting likes and binge-watching reels. Even more concerning, about 11% of these young users are showing signs of addiction, including feeling jittery or anxious when they can’t get their screen time fixed. Doctors said these findings were a major red flag. According to the research, the rise in social media use over the last 15 years has gone hand-in-hand with a rise in mental health issues and self-harm among kids and young adults aged 10-24.

But is there any real evidence for this? Or is it just a story we tell ourselves out of either resentment of the rich or a sense of social justice? We can all produce examples of rich people whose lives were ruined by horrible divorces or poor people who spend their lives doing what they love.

Their work not only explodes the myth of happy peasants and miserable millionaires. It also suggests, more tantalizingly, that there may be no upper limit to the happiness that wealth can bring.
