Social media

You can discover fellow players by searching for the hashtag #superbetter on social media networks, like Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest. (I’ve made a surprising number of virtual allies this way!)

Discussion forums

There are also discussion forums and social media groups online for just about any challenge you can imagine. Not sure where to start? I’ve gathered links to popular forums and groups for the most common SuperBetter challenges. You may find it helpful to explain the SuperBetter method to others on the forum by sharing a link to the book, the online app, or the TED talk. Or post this image!
