Summary

How to control your use of Social Media without the ever present FOMO? Anya has removed herself from social media for an entire month as part of a digital detox. She’s experiencing FOMO - the Fear of Missing Out - and is feeling cut off from her friends at school.

While FOMO feels like a modern problem, it’s existed for centuries. Neuroscientist Ash Ranpura tells us how the teenage brain is particularly sensitive to the risk of social exclusion. So how can you maintain the balance between solitude and keep up with your friends online? Behaviour change expert Nir Eyal shares his tips.
