Summary

#329: Why Humans Fear Making Decisions In this episode, I dive into the art of decision-making. I explore the idea of peaceful fear and how it can guide our decision-making, challenge the notion that fear always means we're making the wrong choice, and speak to the resistance we feel when making decisions. Embracing fear and resistance leads to transformative experiences.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mark Gross podcast.
0:07.0	Today I'm coming at you with a solo episode, and as you're listening to this, I'm actually currently in the jungles of Peru.
0:13.8	However, I'm recording it before I go there. So I'm recording this the day before I leave to Lima.
