Ten Percent Happier | Podcast with Dan Harris & Michael Gervais

Why fear of other people’s opinions (FOPO) holds us back, and what to do about it.

Dan Harris is joined by Michael Gervais, a high performance psychologist. His new book is called The First Rule of Mastery: Stop Worrying About What People Think of You.

In this episode:

- A handy new acronym: FOPO, Fear of People’s Opinions

- How the evolutionary roots of our desire for social acceptance work against us in the modern world

- Why caring about what others think is not the same thing as worrying about what others think

- The difference between a purpose-based identity and a performance-based identity

- The anti-FOPO power of things like: imagination, journaling, meditation, social support, and considering your mortality

- Why focusing less on yourself can be the greatest bulwark against FOPO
