When Tim Ferris Talked About Fears, He Talked About You

It’s a popular Ted Talk.

Tim talks about fear-setting instead of goal-setting. Similarly, I am not a fan of setting goals, that is, SMART goals. They are limiting.

If you want to achieve great strides, SMART goal-setting is not the way to go. The alternative option is to set your goals in the negative.

That’s what Tim Ferris talks about through fear-setting.

Organisms also practice this habit of fear-setting. That is, the goal of every organism is to avoid death.

They will use whichever strategy possible, including motion, to extend their existence.

These are the secrets of evolution — time and death. Avoiding death extends your existent time.

Since you’re also an organism, this talk was also about you. Watch it, and see how it links to the secrets of evolution.

Then you can see just how he talks about you.
