I'm loving it right now. Highly recommend it. ya, I keep meaning to add that the quote is where someone is talking to him as an adolescent in the book. meaning, it’s not some self help book that’s saying that everyone will have to contend with fear, in the book it’s directed to this kid in response to something he’s said.

You’ve got a handle on lots of Big Stuff right now.

It certainly resonated with me. Someone gave me The Tender Bar for a gift a few months ago and seeing the quote prompted me to start the book. Thanks.

In grad school, and working in some high-stress jobs, there were many who were motivated by fear, and there were supervisors who believed in setting unreasonable goals/expectations (a form of "management by fear"), and I don't think it brought out the best in me, or my colleagues for that matter. I'm much more motivated by "pride and joy" in my work, earning the praise of tough critics, and exceeding the expectations of clients/customers. But in terms of social situations, life-goals, personal issues, I can see the benefits of conquering your fears. But fear as THE great issue in your life? Not so sure about that.
