Thank you, Dr. N. Just when I was beginning to think I knew it all, about myself anyway ;-), have to say he really opened my eyes.

“Martin’s point, if I read him right, is that there are so many reasons for us to doubt ourselves that we might worry more about the people who don’t.

Sort of like the old adage that “perfection is the enemy of the good.” The biggest obstacle maybe is self-doubt to even try! Better to remind ourselves, as you and FDR did, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.”
