Intense fear of failure: a passage from the book.
The paper opens with a story from one of the authors, who spent nearly an hour in a shop unable to choose between a $1,000 Pioneer stereo and a $700 Sony. Then the salesman asked whether the customer would rather have the Pioneer, or the Sony and "$300 worth of CDs". The choice that had seemed so hard suddenly was not close. The Sony won, almost at once.
From chapter 9: The price of the safe choice
So what's your version of the $300 worth of CDs? When you picture keeping your savings safe, you probably picture the money sitting there, whole and untouched. You almost certainly don't picture what else that money and your evenings could have been doing, because nobody has ever described it to you the way the salesman described the CDs, and I think that silence is doing more of your deciding than you realise.
