Deri Llewellyn-Davies deals with the three big F words, to unravel why fear can feel so real, whilst being entirely irrational. Fear is implicit to courage, a supposed essential trait for success in business and life, but what is it really?

This talk was delivered at Edinburgh's iconic Central Hall on Thursday, February 18th 2016 and was a part of series of talks given at the TEDxUniversityofEdinburgh 2016 Conference.
