I recently forwarded your essay ("You Weren't Meant to Have a Boss") to a friend and his reply was:

"I can't be reading that right now!"

I figure the reason for this is because you compel people to take more risks. Most people know what they have to do to get what they want but most people don't do it because it is a risk. Your upsetting people's sense of security and feeling alright in the world.

Keep it up.

I heard somewhere once that a group of people in their prime were asked if they could have changed anything in their life what would of it been. The majority of people responded that they would have taken more risks.

Your last sentence sounds like a great example of survivorship bias. The ones who took more risks are all dead ;-)
