Full of cold this week, starting to feel a bit more human today. Reading this because I found it abandoned at the bottom of a pile of books. I like the idea.
Svend Brinkmann is professor of psychology at Aalborg University and in this readable book (translated from Danish by Tam McTurk) he examines the values of self-restraint and moderation to combat the Fear Of Missing Out lifestyle. However, while Brinkmann makes strong psychological and philosophical arguments for why moderation is good for you, he doesn‘t give any guidance on how to practice it and so it feels a little half-done as a subject.
