Michael Gervais: 我在书中探讨了对他人意见的恐惧（FOPO）这一普遍存在的问题。FOPO源于我们古老的大脑机制，它让我们过度关注他人的评价，以求获得安全感和归属感。然而，过度重视他人意见会导致我们活在他人的标准下，而不是自己的。高绩效生活的关键在于将注意力从外部世界转移到内心世界，克服对他人意见的恐惧。我们需要意识到FOPO的存在，并学习如何区分担忧和关心。基于绩效的身份认同会让我们过度关注他人的评价，而基于目标的身份认同则能帮助我们减少这种担忧。在高压情境下，我们需要练习在当下时刻集中注意力，管理好情绪，并专注于可控因素。通过培养心理技能，我们可以更好地应对压力和焦虑，在高压环境下保持最佳状态。最终，人生的检验标准在于，如果知道生命即将结束，我们会如何设计剩余的时间。 Mike Abrams: 作为主持人，我主要负责引导话题，提出问题，并与Michael Gervais进行讨论，帮助他更清晰地阐述观点。我从Michael Gervais的回答中了解到FOPO的定义、影响以及克服方法。同时，我也就FOPO在不同群体（例如运动员、企业员工、高中生）中的体现以及应对策略与Michael Gervais进行了深入探讨。

Shownotes Transcript

When we let fear of other people's opinions take control, we play it safe and small because we're afraid of what will happen on the other side of critique. But what if the key to leading a high-performance life is to redirect our attention from the outside world to the world inside us?

Dr. Michael Gervais discusses his book, The First Rule Of Mastery: Stop Worrying About What People Think Of You. He reveals the mental skills and practices we need to overcome the fear of other people's opinions — the same skills he's taught to the top performers in the world, including sports MVPs, world-renowned artists and musicians, and Fortune 100 leaders and teams.
