Missing Out by Adam Phillips
Demonstrates that there might in fact be much to be said for the unlived life. This title suggests that in missing out on one experience we always open ourselves to the potential of another, and that in depriving ourselves of the frustration of not getting what we think we want, we would be depriving ourselves of the possibilities of satisfaction.
