The Psychology of FOMO - Why it's Getting Worse and What To Do About It
Manage episode 455241870 series 3521118
Modern technology amplifies our fear and emotions. FOMO is on the rise.
Whether you are worried about being invited to a party, checking social media, or finding it harder to make decisions.
FOMO is increasingly driving our emotions and actions. It is a deeply natural feeling built into us through hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. But it hasn't kept up with our incredible pace of technological change.
Part of the reason we have such a decline in mental health is we can compare ourselves to the perfect lives all around us in the digital world and feel we don't stack up.
This episode will help you understand what's really going on:
- The evolutionary roots of FOMO
- How our modern world is making us anxious
- Why ADHD is on the rise
- Where to take back our focus
- What to celebrate and look up to.
