In this episode, we explore the neuroscience behind FOMO: how your brain’s reward system predicts value, why dopamine makes you want things without necessarily making you happy, and why seeing other people’s experiences can create feelings of regret and social anxiety. We’ll break down what happens inside your brain and explore science-backed ways to take back control.
