2) "Why you should define your fears instead of your goals," by Tim Ferriss
Author and investor Tim Ferriss traces his biggest successes to fear setting, a practice where he vividly details his fears. In this TED talk he teaches the practice and elaborates how doing it can help individuals find success in high-stress environments and get beyond self-paralyzing behaviors.
3) "Thoughts on humanity, fame, and love," by Shah Khan
Bollywood star Shah Khan opens up about growing up as an orphan in India, moving to Mumbai, and finding success. He combines charm and humor while sharing his stories about life in the spotlight, aging, and the hard truths he has learned.
