“We suffer more in imagination than in
reality.” — Seneca
I do an exercise called “fear-setting” at least once a quarter,
often once a month. It is the most powerful exercise I do.
Fear-setting has produced my biggest business and personal
successes, as well as repeatedly helped me to avoid catastrophic
mistakes.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:
My TED talk, which is what you are listening to, gives you an
overview, and the text at tim.blog/ted provides more detail,
step-by-step instructions, and real-world examples.

This talk was also shared on the podcast TED Talks Daily, where
TED shares new ideas every weekday. You might also enjoy my
conversation with Chris Anderson on The TED Interview podcast, in
which we discuss philosophy, psychedelics, and much more.
