How The Best Overcome Fear

People in construction often bear a large amount of responsibility, are trying to grow their business, and generally put themselves ‘out  there’.

All of these things produce varying levels of fear.  It is a natural human emotion to protect us – but often it can hold us back.  In this podcast Tim Ferriss looks at how to overcome fear when it is holding us back.

“Whatever you’re doing, don’t give a voice to things you’re not able to change.”

Welcome to another edition of The Tim Ferriss Radio Hour, where I share the habits and patterns of world-class performers revealed over nearly 300 interviews.

In this episode, we’ll explore fear. Specifically, how to manage, mitigate, and overcome fear, which is something I’ve battled for decades.

This has been such a focal point of my life that my last TED Talk focused on an exercise called fear setting, which is something I practice at least once a month and have found to be a life raft.

In addition to my own experiences, we’ll hear how Sir Richard Branson (@richardbranson), Maria Sharapova (@mariasharapova), Vince Vaughn, and Caroline Paul (@carowriter) have battled their own fears.
