    Fear Setting with Kibwe Cooper

    2024/03/27 | 41 mins.
    Can you believe it! Build A Brain has hit episode #50. To celebrate, I brought back your favorite, Kibwe Cooper, to discuss “Fear Setting”.

    The brain responds to fear with many specific reactions that can include shutting down, running away, fighting back, or freezing up. That’s OK if the stimulus is a lion, tiger, or bear. But how about just a modern-day challenge, like starting my own business, going to a new college, or moving across the country? Tim Ferriss created a novel method of working through our fears. Listen in to how Kibwe and Jeanne break it down so you can build it up again!

    Yes, BUILD YOUR BRAIN!

About Build a Brain

How in heaven’s name does someone BUILD A BRAIN! Please allow me to explain. In the late 1990’s, I was watching a webinar about teaching for intelligence. This very idea was counter to all I had been taught in college. Of course, intelligence is fixed - determined by the genes and early childhood. It can’t be “taught” or so I thought. But one man on the panel of child experts disagreed with everyone else. I saw his name was Reuven Feuerstein and he changed my life!
