I recently read the book by Tim Ferriss called the 4 Hour Work week. I didn’t love it, but thought it was a good read. He’s also just about to publish his second book called the 4 Hour Body which I’m looking forward to a lot more.

One of his main chapters in the book is how to excel and achieve those goals that seem unobtainable in your life. He does this through a technique of defining your fears. I haven’t tried it myself but I’m going too.

Here’s a talk he gave at Google IO explaining the technique and the unbelievable benefits it has reaped for him personally.
