Are We 'Maxxing' Too Much?

Adding more books to your reading list this year? You’re booksmaxxing. Eating more fiber? That’s fibermaxxing. Changing your appearance to become more attractive? Looksmaxxing. Across social media, it seems like just about everything can be “maxxed” these days. Whatever your hobby, habit or goal, the objective is not to just do it, but to maximize it to its full potential. There are also industries betting on the phenomenon. The global wellness market is expected to approach $10 trillion by 2030. And as consumers look for new ways to improve themselves, more companies are paying attention. So why has this trend become so popular? And is there such a thing as "maxxing" correctly?
