‘Because you’re worth it’, proclaims the classic cosmetics ad.
‘Just do it!’ implores the global sports retailer. Everywhere we
turn, we are constantly encouraged to experience as much as possible,
for as long as possible, in as many ways as possible. FOMO - Fear of
Missing Out - has become a central preoccupation in a world fixated on
the never-ending pursuit of gratification and self-fulfilment.
But this pursuit can become a treadmill leading nowhere. How can we
break out of it? In this refreshing book, bestselling Danish
philosopher and psychologist Svend Brinkmann reveals the many virtues
of missing out on the constant choices and temptations that dominate
our experience-obsessed consumer society. By cultivating
self-restraint and celebrating moderation we can develop a more
fulfilling way of living that enriches ourselves and our fellow humans
and protects the planet we all share - in short, we can discover the
joy of missing out.
