Mr. Money Mustache. "Fear is just a chemical"

This is Pure Fear. Not quite as scary as you imagined, is it?In the article, "Fear is just a chemical, Mr.Mustache lets us know just that. He explains to his audience that most of the fear in our lives is just absurd. He tells about the hormones that are released when we are afraid and how we snap back into reality soon after it goes away . the main idea that he is promoting is that there is a lot in life to be gained when we realize that most of our fear is nothing to be feared at all, in fact it is just chemical, and as soon as the hormones have been spent throughout our body we are back to normal. He then talks about some of the common fears that shouldn't be, things such as applying for a new job, or buying a new house. The most common is people having fear to try new things. He ends his article by challenging his audience to remember that we should not let this control our lives. I believe that all of his ideas are practical and conventional. It is a simple idea, but if we keep it in mind it can change the way we react to the little things that bother us. The biggest strength of this article would be in the simplicity of the main idea, but its weakness would be that it can't force people to change. that is something that we need to do on our own.

In this link below, there is additional research of the fact that fear is a chemical. It talks about the things that we fear and how most of them are just because of our brain.
