Media Narratives and Hidden Issues
This chapter explores the disparity between media coverage and historically significant issues, highlighting the 'headline death gap' between well-publicized causes of death and more dangerous yet underreported problems like heart disease.

By drawing parallels between historical debates and modern dilemmas, such as loneliness and mental health, the chapter emphasizes the need for a more conscientious approach to public discourse and societal influence.
