Psychological courage: the courage required to face your own psychological limitations, irrational fears, and self-deceptions

Why This Is a Definition

This definition names 'Psychological courage' and establishes it as a form of courage (genus), then specifies what distinguishes it (facing psychological limitations, fears, and self-deceptions). It distinguishes this form from physical or moral courage by focusing on internal psychological threats rather than external ones, and is central to the lesson's discussion of the authority audit.
