About this listen
Is the fear of failure more damaging than failure itself? In Part 4 of our in-depth exploration of Alain de Botton's book 'On Failure', your host, Saber Mashirian, delves into this crucial question.
We'll uncover why the failures we imagine—the ones that haven't even happened—can cause the most significant pain. Drawing on de Botton's profound psychological insights, this episode examines:
The difference between fictional fears and plausible threats.
The deep-seated childhood roots of adult anxiety, using de Botton's powerful infant analogy.
The concept of "self-soothing" and how we can learn to become the nurturing parent to our own inner child.
Join us to understand the origins of your fear and discover the first steps toward finding inner peace.
