Embracing JOMO: The Joy of Missing Out
by Faye Mills
What if the life you're craving doesn't require doing more-only choosing less?
In a world that glorifies busyness, constant connection, and the fear of missing out, Embracing JOMO offers a gentle, liberating alternative: the Joy of Missing Out. This book is an invitation to step off the treadmill of modern life and rediscover peace, clarity, and contentment through intentional living.
If you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or quietly disconnected-even when life looks "full" on the outside-this book is for you.
Blending thoughtful reflection with practical insight, Embracing JOMO explores why so many of us feel drained by social pressure, digital overload, and the constant expectation to be available, productive, and "on." It gently dismantles the myth that more activity leads to more happiness, and shows how choosing rest, boundaries, and simplicity can transform your wellbeing.
Inside, you'll discover:
- Why FOMO fuels anxiety, burnout, and comparison
- How to say no without guilt-and mean it
- The power of slowing down in a hyper-connected world
- How to reclaim your time, energy, and attention
- Why missing out can actually help you feel more present, calm, and fulfilled
This is not a book about withdrawing from life-it's about engaging with it more honestly. Through real-world examples and quiet encouragement, Embracing JOMO helps you build a life that aligns with your values, not external expectations.
Whether you're seeking stress relief, a digital detox, better boundaries, or simply permission to slow down, this book offers reassurance that a quieter, more intentional life isn't something you're failing to achieve-it's something you're allowed to choose.
You don't have to keep up.
You don't have to do it all.
And you don't have to feel guilty for wanting peace.
Sometimes, the most meaningful moments come from the things you choose to miss.
