Cannes Digest: Conquer Your Fear of Failure with Alain de Botton

Philosopher Alain de Botton takes to the stage at Cannes Lions 2012 to explore how a fear of failure inhibits creativity, before suggesting how a newspaper like the Sun might have dealt with some of the stories from great works of literature, and taking a look at how we can all shake off a fear of failure to thrive creatively.

Human beings are not going to overcome the fear of failure at the behest of an influential speaker however persuasive he might be. That is exactly why it is defined as a fear and this is a very intrinsic fear which has been inculcated during the early years of our life.making it not so intrinsic might I add.
