Driven sometimes by ambition and other times by a sense of
inner incompleteness, we instinctively immerse ourselves in a myriad of
pursuits. We often act out of the fear of losing out, compared to our peers or
our social network.
We would rather be overwhelmed than miss out on the
slightest chance to please the boss, make more money, enhance our status,
accumulate more clothes or gadgets, or go to the extra social event. We also
find it hard to let up on instantly responding to text messages, checking our
e-mails or facebook accounts multiple times a day or randomly watching television.
