This looks really promising. I was never at risk (during youth) because I was under the thumb of religious fervor, but I imagine I would have responded much more favorably to this kind of “know yourself” approach than the usual “everything is bad” propaganda. The latter is inherently self-defeating because it always contains some elements of both lying and hyping things that are non-issues on a personal basis. Both discredit any value delivered in the same package, and it’s not a “messaging” issue or figuring out how to be cool enough to make kids listen.

I might go so far as to identify this kind of self-understanding as the most notable absence in the most egregious shortcomings of my education and overall upbringing. That probably shouldn’t be so surprising, with western religion’s adoration for “one size fits all” approaches to everything. But the key factor to maximizing reception and impact would be staying well clear of pseudoscience and limiting the program’s ambitions to assessment backed by solid evidence.
