"The First Rule of Mastery: Stop Worrying about What People Think of You" by Michael Gervais

Psychologist Michael Gervais discusses the fear of people's opinions (FOPO), how it hinders personal growth, and influences decision-making, self-worth, and perceptions of success. The podcast explores society's emphasis on the self and its contribution to FOPO, as well as the evolutionary reasons behind our fear of social disapproval. It also delves into the impact of our performance-obsessed culture and the pursuit of excellence on our lives and self-worth.
