Why you should define your fears instead of your goals | Tim Ferriss

I love this - Tim Ferriss talks us through the Philosophy of Stoicism, and the key points I took from this are:

- perform Fear Analysis, in the same way you would Goal Analysis
- anything that is making us worry about taking a forward action, should be analysed to find out why.  - sure, your fear might be well founded and completely valid, but just work through it and then you'll know for certain.
- otherwise you'll be able to find work-arounds in case the 'what if' scenario actually happens
- this is similar to the risk analysis that I used to perform in my previous life as a project manager - understanding what can go wrong, and mitigating that is the best way to get comfortable with your decisions
