Can we gain something from missing out?


Sino-Danish Center & the Danish Chamber of Commerce invites you to discuss this thought-provoking question with Danish psychologist Svend Brinkmann.



Author of multiple bestselling books, and publisher of 150+ scholarly articles, Svend Brinkmann confronts the conventional idea that the 'want it all' / 'do it all' attitude in society is a key reason to continuous happiness and personal development.


He flips this notion around and argues that the opposite has a better effect on the individual - that the joy of missing out is an attribute to be used proactively in your daily life.


The event will be held in English and participants are more than welcome to ask Svend Brinkmann questions about how to navigate life in hypermodernity.


Don't miss out on this thought-provoking, entertaining, and unique opportunity to meet one of the most famous Danish experts on psychology and a strong voice in the Danish public discourse that has influenced the thinking of an entire generation of Danes.
