get scared

I like this. I like when "new studies" uphold my you-have-to-do-the-thing-that-scares-you philosophy.

I must say, however, that I don't like that it falls under the 'business' section in the Times, or the fact that the expert on this issue is an "executive change consultant". That phrase makes me gag. I don't think I could say it out loud without literally choking.

Consultants and business-people like to state the obvious. So maybe, by that logic, everyone must already know that it's healthy to try new things and stimulate your brain every once in a while. It would be nice if everyone already knew that. Would render this post - and, indeed, this entire site - quite superfluous.
