Worst case scenarios and the boogeyman In general, focusing on worst case scenarios is not a good strategy.

“We need to talk” When we feel the need to point out something to someone, we can have one of two orientations.

Obligation and False Obligations We often manufacture a sense of obligation. This then has us be trapped and not have freedom of choice.
