ADVICE

Introduce Growth Mindset With Relevant Examples

  • Give a 16-year-old concrete examples they care about and start with Carol Dweck's book Mindset if they'll read it.
  • Model growth publicly and be patient because change often arrives through slow example rather than direct preaching.
ADVICE

Use Comparison As A Controlled Motivator

  • Limit comparison to others: spend about 80% of time focused inward and 20% scanning competitors for motivation.
  • Use others' success to focus your effort, not to chase status or copy their path.
INSIGHT

Ideology Multiplies Through Merchandising

  • Embed ideology into multiple media and merchandise to signal identity to others and yourself.
  • Use a total-merchandising strategy to turn ideas into an ecosystem of content, apps, and products.
