In this episode, the speaker explores the role of fear in decision making, and how it can often hold us back from achieving our true potential. It discusses how fear can be both a source of protection and constraint, and how it is important to decode fear to understand its purpose.
Fear can either keep us safe or limit our choices and narrow our perspectives. When we learn to decode our fears, we are able to distinguish between rational and irrational fears, and this in turn impacts the choices we make and how we treat others.
