YOLO seems like the perfect rock 'n' roll philosophy. You only
live once... so do whatever seems right in the moment. Be
spontaneous. Quit your job; find a new person to date; and
always, always keep your options open.

We all fear getting stuck in the wrong occupation, relationship
or home - so shun fully committing to anything. But we're
misguided. The man who coined the term YOLO - the Grateful Dead
drummer Mickey Hart - tells Dr Laurie Santos that throwing
yourself fully into a life choice is the best way to live our
precious life.
