Fear of missing Out: Practical Decision-Making in a World of Overwhelming Choice

What do you feel when you see photos of friends from the most interesting lectures, fashionable parties or from the beach under palm trees by the blue sea? Don‘t you sometimes think that they live much richer, more interesting, more Instagrammable than you, and you constantly miss something? This feeling is called FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) - the fear of missed opportunities. If you often experience it, you can be called a representative of FOMO Sapiens. The author of this term, Patrick McGinnis, believes that FOMO is the scourge of the digital society, which leads to stress, insecurity, envy, even depression. It hinders career success, encourages risky investments, and causes business leaders to choose the wrong strategies and waste precious resources. In his book, McGinnis offers powerful, practical strategies to help keep the fear of missed opportunities in check, stay mindful, and make strong and intelligent choices without falling into analysis paralysis. The tests in the book will help you assess the extent of the problem, and the step-by-step strategies will help you finally take action, and not be afraid.
