What’s being presented
«JOMO. El gusto de perder» is the book by Juan Evaristo Valls being presented at La Repartidora on 12 November 2026. The title plays with the acronym JOMO (joy of missing out), the opposite of the well-known FOMO: instead of the fear of missing out, the pleasure of letting things go.
According to the event description, the book starts from a simple observation: we live in a society that demands we’re always available, endlessly productive, and making the most of every moment. In response to this pressure, Valls argues for the right to say no, to turn down plans and stimuli, and to reclaim time as something personal—not a resource to be monetised.
Who it’s for
The presentation of «JOMO. El gusto de perder» will appeal to those following debates on hyper-productivity culture, burnout, and our relationship with free time. It’s a book-and-conversation event with the author, in line with the essay presentations hosted by this cultural space and bookshop in Benimaclet, which focuses on critical thought and cooperative values.
