Interesting, though one bit confused me.
Could you clarify this bit?
Thanks.
We were not sure how exactly to accomplish this, but if you could convince someone that the outcomes in their life were primarily a result of their effort (instead of being dictated by external circumstances), that could motivate them to try harder.
Ah, thanks. Though the flipside of that might be that it might convince them that past failures prove that they're a lost cause.
That's when you help them crank up the Overconfidence Bias. ;)
