Lesson 19: Changing Your View Of Your World: Slide 27

Taking Risks Or Daring To Relapse
- The word “risk” derives from the early Italian risicare, which means to “dare”
- In this sense risk is a choice rather than a fate
- The actions we dare to take depend on how free we perceive ourselves to make certain choices
