Episode description

When we let fear of other people's opinions take control, we play it safe and small because we're afraid of what will happen on the other side of critique. But what if the key to leading a high-performance life is to redirect our attention from the outside world to the world inside us?

Dr. Michael Gervais discusses his book, The First Rule Of Mastery: Stop Worrying About What People Think Of You. He reveals the mental skills and practices we need to overcome the fear of other people's opinions — the same skills he's taught to the top performers in the world, including sports MVPs, world-renowned artists and musicians, and Fortune 100 leaders and teams.
