Wilkinson explains how living in a constant state of survival and impending doom reshapes our biology and threatens the very essence of human potential. They discuss the myths around "mastery" being a finished destination, the toxic nature of avoiding failure, and the real reasons behind the mental time bomb that elite performance often hides. From the pressures of a World Cup final to the quiet struggle of starting a business, this episode explores how the need for control can break down the whole system of human performance.
