Fear and Risk-Fitness, with Telana Simpson
Dealing with our fears and understanding what they are telling us, is a life-skill that can help us deal with failure. Telana shares some frameworks from the cognitive behavioural sciences for looking at our emotions, and fear in particular, including the Plutchik model and Tony Robbin’s view, that are most useful. She explores how this mindset of using our fear as a signal relates to the way we deal with risks, and thus how we can develop our Risk-Fitness.
