Can you believe it! Build A Brain has hit episode #50. To celebrate, I brought back your favorite, Kibwe Cooper, to discuss “Fear Setting”. The brain responds to fear with many specific reactions that can include shutting down, running away, fighting back, or freezing up. That’s OK if the stimulus is a lion, tiger, or bear. But how about just a modern-day challenge, like starting my own business, going to a new college, or moving across the country? Tim Ferriss created a novel method of working through our fears. Listen in to how Kibwe and Jeanne break it down so you can build it up again!
