The Freedom of Missing Out is a terrific self help book, written by a Jesuit priest. I appreciated that the author kept religious language to a minimum and made the book accessible to everyone. While based on classic Christian principles, the author uses practical wisdom to encourage readers to work within constraints to find a new kind of freedom. The most compelling example was an anecdote in which Warren Buffett asked someone to make a list of their goals. After doing so, the person is told to mark out all but the top three goals and avoid the others like the plague.

Readers, in this book, are encouraged to go deep and work on quality endeavors, rather than trying to spread themselves too thinly. While this book was not exactly your typical self help book or your typical book of spiritual guidance, it did quite a nice job of serving out sound, practical advice in an engaging voice.
