The chapter provides some guidance to enable the reader to deeply consider the content of the chapters that follow without ruminating over the concepts presented. Five antidotes to notions of worry, failure, and self-criticism are presented: normalization of these feelings; specified thinking; worry time; proactive preparation; and remembering your motivations. These pragmatic steps will support the young or aspiring intensivist to balance insights they gain from the book with the serenity of performing optimally.
