JOMO: The Joy of Missing Out

Discovering What Matters When You Look Up

By: Rance Settle

Narrated by: Matt Malone

This isn't an audiobook about putting down your phone. It's about picking up your life.

Every "digital wellness" audiobook says the same thing: Phones are evil. Throw them in a drawer. Do a detox. Feel guilty about your screen time.

But what if that's completely missing the point?

JOMO flips the script entirely.

Instead of focusing on what you should stop doing, discover what you're meant to start experiencing. This isn't about rejection—it's about selection. Not about limits—but about freedom.

When you understand the LIVE principle, everything changes:

• Technology becomes a tool, not a master
• You use social media without it using you
• Missing out online becomes opting into something better
• Your phone serves your real life, not the other way around

The plot twist? The teen who inspired this audiobook still has Instagram. The families who live JOMO still own smartphones. They just discovered something most people haven't—How to be fully alive in a digital world.

"I thought this would be another 'phones are bad' lecture. I've never been happier to be wrong." —Emma, 17

"JOMO taught us how to use technology without losing ourselves." —The Morrison Family
