Its job is to protect us from harm, to lead us away from what's dangerous or to gird ourselves to fight.

Why should we be concerned with a comparison between courage and confidence? Or the idea that courage is not important? Many pop-psychologists and motivational speakers address the issue of success: They suggest, if you are going to be successful, there is a necessity for courage or the ability to "just do it," or one is doomed to be a failure: They stir up their audiences on the power of courage and just going out and doing it.
