Why Singer Jewel Is Promoting the Metaverse For Mental Health Support
Can communicating via a digital avatar help improve your mental health? That's the idea behind a platform called Innerworld, which just announced singer-songwriter and longtime mental health advocate Jewel as their Chief Strategy Officer. The inspiration for the site came from a founder who struggled with coming out at age 13 and credits a multiplayer game and his avatar in that game with saving his life by giving him a community and sense of belonging he didn't have in the real world at the time.
Innerworld aims to create a safe space through guidelines that you might wish was the model for other social media sites: "no conversation about politics or religion, no bullying, no trolling, no negativity." The site also promises 24/7 live guides and complete anonymity as a core feature too.

A Short Backstory Of This Blog
This is a blog about non-obvious ideas.

In 2015 Rohit officially rebranded to the Non-Obvious Insights Blog and published his WSJ bestseller Non-Obvious. For the past twenty one years, this blog has coined new terms, introduced future marketing practices and inspired the next generation of non-obvious thinkers and marketers.
