At the Intersection with Doug Newton
Let's Stop Being Controlled by Fear
ARE WE BEING CONTROLLED BY FEAR?
It seems like America runs on fear these days. That’s been the case way back to FDR who warned in 1933, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” But it’s only gotten worse. Especially since COVID. Madison Ave knows it. The government knows it. Big Pharma knows. Political parties know it. All you have to do is spread the fear, and you can make people spend lots of money, take lots of medicine, do drastic things, and even hate their neighbors. A lot of the problem is our fault. We want cushy, predictable, healthy and wealthy lives. In the process we live in the constant fear of suffering or missing out on happiness.
In this episode of “At the Intersection with Doug Newton” I share my thoughts and a personal story showing what we each can do to help our fear culture dial back the worry-- and everyone "just take a breath." Catch it live today
