In this episode, we'll be talking with Mindy Weinstein, author of the new book "The Power of Scarcity: How the Science of Less Can Help You Achieve More."

In a world where we are constantly bombarded with messages telling us to do more, have more, and be more, scarcity can seem like a negative concept. But according to Weinstein, scarcity can actually be a powerful tool for achieving our goals and living a more fulfilling life.

Drawing on the latest research from psychology, economics, and neuroscience, Weinstein shows us how scarcity can help us focus our attention, increase our motivation, and make better decisions. Whether we're trying to lose weight, save money, or excel in our careers, the principles of scarcity can help us achieve our goals with less stress and more success.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by the abundance of choices in your life, or you're simply looking for a new approach to achieving your goals, this episode is a must-listen. So tune in to FOMO Sapiens and discover the power of scarcity with Mindy Weinstein.
