Fear isn't the reason you don't take risks. You don't take them because you lack identity.

Cover of Thinking, Fast and Slow

Thinking, Fast and Slow

Daniel Kahneman

It doesn't matter how complex or inconsequential your thinking may be; your intuition is naturally vulnerable to systematic errors, and you must learn to reject those errors. Even in your own thinking, you must learn to embrace the uncertainty of things that seem undeniably wrong but are inescapably true.
