Fear of Failure

In the latest episode of Understanding Men, Luke and Fraser discuss failure. Looking back at instances in their lives which they then viewed as failures, they show the importance of failure as a means to learn and grow. They also highlight how the mindset of not wanting to fail can be helpful in delivering a good performance, but can be an unsustainable way to live long-term.


Luke and Fraser also explore the idea of a fear of success, and how fear of a good or bad outcome can result in someone never stepping out of their comfort zone. They address how failure is often a key part of some of the most significant moments of our lives and highlight how embracing the emotion can allow us to learn and therefore achieve.

Now they're sharing their stories in the hopes that they'll inspire listeners to do the same within their own relationships.
