Chovos Halvavos describes Rabbeinu Bachya's struggle with self-doubt as he considered writing his sefer. Was he knowledgeable enough? Was his understanding sufficiently developed? Was he even qualified to write a work of such importance?

But he came to recognize that what appeared to be humility and caution was actually fear of criticism and a desire for comfort.
