I have a new book! I almost called the book "How to Stay Zen on Social Media," because that's one of the main points! However, I decided to go with the more click-baity name of "Under the Influence - How to Fake Your Way Into Getting Rich on Instagram: Influencer fraud, Selfies, Anxiety, Ego, and Mass Delusional Behavior" ... Catchy eh? Here's the link to Amazon stuckincustoms.com/links/undertheinfluencebook ...It's avail there exclusively in pre-release mode!
I see quite a bit of suffering out there on social media, and that's why I wrote this book. I hope it is a fun way to open the door, if even just a little, to have people become more mindful in their daily activities. Social Media, if used wrongly, can really add to a lot of undue suffering.
Another source of suffering is some of these Instagram Influencer charlatans are using completely unscrupulous tricks to gain a big following and engagement to trick brands into giving them the seemingly ideal lifestyle that is perfectly Instagrammable. So, a lot of people suffer anxiety when they see this stuff online because they feel like losers. But that is all based on a lie, so there is zero need for you to have any internal suffering by comparing yourself to a crook.
I've accidentally become an expert in these subject matters just because of the way I live my life. 90% of my income here at my company comes from fine art sales. A minority is from Influencer gigs and that is where I discovered this unfortunate underbelly of the Instagram world. I'm not writing this book because I feel like these people are taking anything away from me. They're not.
These fraudsters have created what I call Mass Delusional Behavior. I get into that in the sections about selfies and the ego. You'll find the book to be quite philosophical in an approachable way. You'll see some of the traps a regular person can fall into that can lead to an empty life where you only feed the ego instead of becoming your true self. It shows there's another path!
Whelp, I hope you love the book and find it interesting ... it's quite a little adventure!
I was trying to figure out photos to share for this book... I found a few from my portfolio that I thought were interesting. I took this one a few months ago in Chengdu, China. I was invited backstage before a Chinese opera and these were two different ladies getting ready for their performance... It's just one photo and each lady was sitting on opposite sides of the mirror.

Brothel Scene
•Frans van Mieris
•Dutch, 1635-1659
•c. 1658-1659
•Oil on Panel
•Royal Picture Gallery, Mauritshuis, The Hague
Van Mieris was a consummate storyteller whose paintings are often titillating and suggestive. Like many other high-life genre painters, he also depicted the rowdy environments of taverns and inns. In each of the three paintings in this corner, a maid-servant in an inn or brothel smilingly offers alcohol to a male companion as an inducement for sensual pleasure.
