In his book Fear, Dr. Agbanyim demonstrated how constructive fear can translate into success in whatever we do. For example, students who fear failing their exams, study hard by digging deeper into the courses, reading, investigating, and engaging in mental attitudes that will eventually guide them into their ultimate goal--passing their exams. Essentially, fear of failure is the beginning of success. His book The Five Principles of Collaboration addresses the importance of individuals collaborating in the workplace, relationships, and social settings for a shared goal. And his recent Amazon bestselling book, THINK, addresses the issues of unconscious bias, why think, the enemy within, follow the cloud, not the crowd, and many others.
