Fear of missing Out: Practical ...

How do you feel when you see pictures of your friends from the most interesting lectures, fashionable parties, or from the beach under palm trees by the blue sea? Don't you sometimes get the feeling that they are living a much richer, more interesting, more Instagrammable life than you are, and that you're constantly missing out on something? This feeling is called FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) - the fear of missing out. If you experience it often, you could be called a FOMO Sapiens. Patrick McGinnis, the author of the term, believes that FOMO is the behemoth of digital society and leads to stress, insecurity, envy, even depression. It interferes with career success, encourages risky investments, and forces business leaders to choose the wrong strategies and waste precious resources. The author offers actionable, practical strategies to help keep the fear of missed opportunities in check, remain conscious and make choices decisively and intelligently without falling into analytical paralysis. Also, the tests here will help you assess the magnitude of the problem, and the step-by-step strategies will help you finally start acting instead of being afraid.
