Join us (Dr. Henry Emmons and Dr. Aimee Prasek) as we dig into the concept of GOMO, the Guarantee of Missing Out, as a more empowering alternative to FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and FOBO (Fear of Being Over). We'll talk about how making choices inherently involves letting go of other possibilities, which, though initially daunting, can lead to a sense of freedom and relief. We'll lean on insights from Oliver Burkeman's 'Four Thousand Weeks' and Barry Schwartz's 'Paradox of Choice,' as we explore some practical strategies to navigate the overwhelming array of choices in modern life and the art of letting go to make space for what you're most connected to.    If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!   Sources and Notes: <ul> <li><a href="https://www.joylab.coach/">Joy Lab Program</a>: Take the next leap in your wellbeing journey with step-by-step practices to help you build and maintain the elements of joy in your life.</li> <li><a href= "https://www.joylab.coach/podcasts/joy-lab-podcast/episodes/2148876138"> Joy Lab Episode about FOBO</a>.</li> <li><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/115218/9781250849359">Four Thousand Weeks</a> by Oliver Burkeman</li> <li>Series on authenticity from our Joy Lab podcast:</li> <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.joylab.coach/podcasts/joy-lab-podcast/episodes/2149050202"> Unmasking Your True Self: Exploring Authenticity and Awe</a> [ep. 216]</li> <li><a href= "https://www.joylab.coach/podcasts/joy-lab-podcast/episodes/2149050203"> Embrace Your True Self: Accepted, Connected, & In The Game</a> [ep. 217]</li> <li><a href= "https://www.joylab.coach/podcasts/joy-lab-podcast/episodes/2149053109"> The Road Most Travelled: Awakening Through Suffering</a> [ep. 218] </li> <li><a href= "https://www.joylab.coach/podcasts/joy-lab-podcast/episodes/2149053119"> Follow Your Bliss: Awakening to Joy</a> [ep. 219]</li> <li><a href= "https://www.joylab.coach/podcasts/joy-lab-podcast/episodes/2149053121"> The Still Small Voice: Awakening with soulfulness</a> [ep. 220]</li> </ul> <li>Farivar, S., Wang, F., & Turel, O.
