What Fear Can Teach Us by Karen Thompson Walker

The author tries to explain what fear is and how our minds have been conditioned to view it and how it affects us. She explains that fear is perceived as a weakness that we are always encouraged to overcome and be hopeful for the future. She is also of the opinion that fear makes us see things that are not there, which can be bad or which when harnessed can be good because we can look at possible outcomes and prepare how best to handle them.

She talked about how successful people used fear to get themselves ready for any circumstance and if those fears ever became reality, they were prepared, although it didn't always come to fruition.
