Nobody knows what skill to learn right now.
AI? Coding? Marketing? Am I wasting my time if I go to school while everyone else is vibe coding apps they’ll never get traction on? Do I start a YouTube channel? What about a Substack? Should I even try getting a job? Or should I build my own thing?
There is more opportunity than ever, yet that opportunity paralyzes more people than ever. There are so many options, but you feel like if you start learning one thing, it will be irrelevant in the next 1-2 years.
However, there is one skill that will never go out of style.
A meta-skill, if you will, that once you learn it, increases the power of any other skill you learn.
What is that skill?
Human nature.
Because if you understand how the human mind works - what makes it tick, what makes it pay attention, what makes it take action... then you can make any business successful. You can distribute the software you build and effectively market any other product. You can work your way into new opportunities. You can make friends and influence people. You can navigate through life with elegance and grace because you are no longer a slave to your mind, but a master of it.
How else are you going to succeed outside of a job? Humans are the ones with the money to pay for your independent work. Humans are the ones who have access to the resources and opportunities you want. And even if your goal is to get a job, how are you going to get your dream job if you do not understand this?
But how in the world do you “learn” something as intangible as human nature?
In this letter, that’s what I hope to provide: The steps and principles that you can apply today that will give you a competitive advantage against everyone else who is racing to succeed as fast as possible because they think AI will somehow save them from their lack of experience.
Subtle reminder: If you want to build an audience via writing on social media (to attract people who support your independent work), the bootcamp starts in 5 days. Enroll before then here.
## The Anatomy Of Human Nature (And How To Exploit It)
The mind is a story engine.
That’s what humans can’t help but pay attention to.
Robots are useful for utility. Nobody would care if the DMV was completely automated and made efficient. Who in their right mind looks forward to standing in a long line for hours just to get a new picture for your driver’s license?
Same with fast food, or riding in an Uber. Nobody likes when the cashier gets your order wrong. Nobody likes riding in a dirty back seat while someone you don’t know asks about your day simply because they want you to tip them.
Let the robots solve utility, that way, humans can abstract out to meaning, purpose, and narrative.
Humans love stakes. Our chest gets tight when their team is about to lose in the final quarter. Humans love novelty. We travel across the world to dine in a 5-star restaurant.
Mastering human nature is about mastering story.
But I’m not going to teach you how to write a novel. No. Instead, I’m going to teach you the principles of value creation. If you understand these, you will write better, speak better, create better products, attract more customers, make more friends, and understand how to create value for others, thus increasing the value of yourself.
These may not sound extremely tangible or hyper practical like you get with all your ChatGPT generated bullet point summaries on how to get rich that you've done absolutely nothing with, but if you let what you are about to learn marinate in your mind for the next few months, and try to spot them in your everyday life, how you see the world will change.
In essence, I am teaching you marketing, sales, and how to influence people all in one go.
The mind has three pressure points. Press any one of them, and attention is almost involuntary (if you’re speaking to a person who is prone to that specific tension). And if you press all three, you have a grip on someone that logic alone can’t break.
If you nail The Three Tensions into your head and remember them every time you write, speak, or interact with someone else - you will be surprised with how much opportunity comes your way.
1) Survival Tension
The mind is a story engine, but it is also a set of survival strategies.
We’re in constant, subconscious threat detection mode because we still have the same wiring as our hunter-gatherer ancestors. We don’t want to die, obviously, so we desire safety and solutions to problems (and if you can make someone aware of a problem, then provide a solution, that’s sales in a nutshell.)
But “safety” doesn’t only apply to physical life or death situations here. It lives on a spectrum. Even the smallest problems can seem like the end of the world if we let them take over our mind. Those problems can be financial, social, or even just about a missed opportunity that could put you ahead (or have better chances at survival).
A few examples:
- You wake up at 30 and realize you’ve been living on autopilot, and the gap between who you are and who you want to be is so large that change feels impossible.
- You spend a decade building someone else’s dreams just to find that they don’t care about you at all.
- There are people dumber than you making 10x more than you because they don’t think about the risk.
As you may already be able to tell, those sound like some of my social posts, and they did really well, because they hit the psychological lever that makes people stop, think, and desire a potential solution.
2) Identity Tension
Survival goes much deeper than physical survival.
While animals only attempt to reproduce the information in their genes, humans attempt to reproduce the information in their consciousness.
This is why you feel threatened when your sports team is about to lose, and why you may get in a fight if someone makes fun of you for it. It’s why you choose to be “anti-AI” or “pro-AI” and argue into oblivion all day, regurgitating how “AI is rotting your brain” rather than choosing neither of those new religions, testing your theory against reality, and seeking truth over hype. Thinking in absolutes is how you get duped into being someone else's psychological puppet.
Humans desire a tribe. They desire status. They desire belonging.
Because if they don’t have that, their chances at survival are much lower. You unconsciously adopt your culture’s and parents’ values and beliefs because if you didn’t, everyone would think you’re a loser who didn’t go to school, get a job, and retire at 65. That’s changing, of course, but it was considered the “safe and smart” route for decades.
We’ll learn how to target this tension in the next section.
3) Progress Tension
By now, some of you can see the pattern.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
The stages of ego development.
Developmental psychology in general.
Our needs, values, and desires evolve over time.
First, people need safety and comfort.
Second, they need belonging and status.
Third, they crave deeper meaning, purpose, and experience.
You can desire any of these at any time, but if you aren’t in a safe environment, or you are stressed all the time, your mind will be narrow, and you can’t think beyond the problem you have. Once that need is largely solved, or kept more at bay, you start craving the higher levels of status, belonging, and eventually progress: clarity, direction, purpose, and transformation.
For my creators out there who write about the deep ideas and insights, understand that 90% of people are not ready for them yet. You have to work them up the ladder and solve the lower-level problems first via your content or products.
This all sounds great, but what can you actually do with this information?
How does it make you a better writer, speaker, or businessman? How do you practice this as a skill?
## How To Pull Psychological Levers To Get What You Want
> The modern information environment is breaking our ability to think, and most people don’t even notice. Essays might be one of the last forms of content that actually develops your capacity to make sense of reality.
You can read all the books on persuasion.
You can study psychology and behavior textbooks.
You can think you know a lot about why humans think and act the way they do, but if you have not tested that knowledge against reality, then you do not know what you are talking about.
You need feedback. You need to put something out into the world and see how people respond. You need to write. You need to speak. You need to create a product and sell it. You need to "provide value," as they say. Entrepreneurship equals self-improvement, because the market and reality become your harsh mentor.
For now, understand that “pulling psychological levers” and “exploiting human nature” is just a fancy way of saying “learn how to persuade.”
It’s only as unethical as the person who wields the tool. Someone who resides at a lower level of mind who cannot see beyond their personal survival will inevitably use persuasion in unethical ways. Their sole priority is money, rather than meaning, because they do not feel comfortable financially, and will attempt to manipulate and scheme to acquire money in a way that does not stem from value exchange and mutual benefit.
With that said, know where you stand.
There are 5 psychological levers that pull one or more of the 3 tensions.
You create tension first (what gets people to pay attention when you write, speak, post, or sell), and then you offer a solution (that preferably changes behavior in a positive way).
Lever 1: Name the Threat (Survival Tension)
Before anyone cares about a solution (your video, product, life's work etc) they need to be aware of the problem, and there are 5 levels of awareness (from Eugene Schwartz - these alone transform your business):
1. Unaware – They don’t know they have a problem. You make them aware of it by naming it.
2. Problem aware – They know there’s a problem, but don’t know a solution exists. You name the solution here.
3. Solution aware – They know a solution exists, but they’re comparing options and don’t know about your unique solution.
4. Product aware – They know about your solution. They need proof, objection handling, testimonials, etc.
5. Most aware – They simply haven’t implemented it and need a little nudge over the edge.
When I write these letters, I always start by naming a problem. Scroll back up and look at the first sentence, “Nobody knows what skill to learn.” This allows almost anyone to read my letters and get value, then I slowly introduce an argument for a solution. This is how most of my posts start as well.
Try to notice how people do this as you scroll social media and you won’t be able to unsee it.
The practical step here:
No matter what you’re doing, from writing a newsletter to creating a presentation to talking to convincing your wife to let you have a night with the boys, start with the problem. Frame the situation.
Think of 5 problems you’ve experienced in your life → Now you have 5 content ideas that are better than just thinking from scratch.
Lever 2: Mirror the Identity (Identity Tension)
You identify with a group or tribe without realizing it.
Being a “morning person.”
Being a “coffee drinker.”
Being a Christian, atheist, republican, democrat, anti-AI, pro-AI or any of the other ideologies we like to adopt as a part of ourselves and defend for no beneficial reason.
As an example, here’s the title of a YouTube video that got 3.9 million views:
It quite literally packages everything we’ve discussed into 8 words. Problem, identity, solution.
There are so many ways to pull the identity lever, but my personal go-to is just starting with, “If you’re...”
That’s it.
If you’re lazy. If you’re broke. If you’re unhappy. If you’re a writer.
Boom, that’s the start of 4 attention-grabbing social posts, or the start of a public speaking gig, or the title of a YouTube video.
By the way, if you have interests, skills, or knowledge that people already talk about online, I’ll teach you my system for building an audience in the content bootcamp that starts in 5 days. Enroll before then here.
Lever 3: Exclude People (Identity Tension, deepened)
Explicitly name who it is not for.
Exclusion creates a sense of belonging, and it pushes people to pick a side.
This is best done after you mirror the identity from step 2. Drawing a line filters out the wrong people who weren’t going to support you anyway.
I.e. “This isn’t for people who want to ‘try’ to get in shape. This is for people tired of their own excuses and ready to completely change their life.”
“If you’re looking for a productivity hack or a morning routine, you’re in the wrong place.”
“This isn’t for people who want a dinky side hustle. We’re building a real business here.”
I think you get it.
Lever 4: Paint the Transformation (Progress Tension)
Essentially, mastering human nature is about changing people’s lives.
At least that’s the most ethical version of it. That’s how you build a life’s work. You become a massive value creator. You hone in on a purpose, and that purpose revolves around solving a problem for as many people as you can. Persuasion is simply how you get people on board with that.
So far, we’ve captured attention (name the threat) and filtered out those who don’t match (mirror identity), now we create desire by simulating the future.
Again, you can probably see in my introduction alone to this newsletter, I hit all of these in a short amount of time.
Why does this work? The same neural circuitry fires when you imagine an experience as when you actually have it. So when you paint a potential transformation (or the later chapters of someones personal story) you’re giving them a felt experience of a future they haven’t lived yet.
If this doesn’t sound too practical, again, you need to practice. You need to see it in action.
To help with that, I turned this entire article into a prompt.
You can use that while writing posts, newsletters, scripts, or even a sales page or promotion. It’s pretty dang helpful. It can be used in teach mode, writing mode, or coach mode.
Lever 5: Give the First Step (Progress Tension, activated)
The reason most people don’t change is that they don’t believe they can do the thing.
They don’t have clarity.
The comfort of their current life is more desirable than the discomfort of doing what it takes to solve the problem you’re offering them a solution to.
In a tweet, this looks like, “Don’t overhaul your life overnight, just go to bed an hour earlier.”
In a product, this looks like making the first step so obvious yet so beneficial that they can’t see why they didn’t do it earlier.
Giving one small step allows the Zeigarnik effect to kick in, which is that the brain hates incomplete tasks. Once someone starts something, or even starts thinking about it, there is a tension that wants to be resolved.
That’s it.
The more you practice this, the more it impacts every other skill you could acquire. And when people learn the latest “high value skills,” they’re essentially just learning a more specific layer of human nature.
If you learn the meta skill itself, you can pick up almost any high-value skill that comes about in the coming years, because the people who have the money, opportunities, or resources you want are humans.
Make it your full-time job to study them.

现在没人该学什么技能。
AI？编程？营销？如果我继续上学，而其他人都在用“氛围编程”捣鼓那些永远不会有起色的应用程序，我是在浪费时间吗？我要开YouTube频道吗？Substack呢？我是应该尝试找份工作，还是应该自己干？
现在的机会比以往任何时候都多，但这种机会也让比以往任何时候都多的人陷入瘫痪。选择太多，但你会觉得，如果你开始学一样东西，它在接下来的1-2年内就会过时。
然而，有一项技能永远不会过时。
这是一个元技能，一旦你学会了它，就会提升你随后学会的任何其他技能的力量。
那是什么技能？
人性。
因为如果你理解人类心智是如何运作的——是什么让它滴答作响，是什么让它集中注意力，是什么让它采取行动……那么你就能让任何生意获得成功。你可以分发你构建的软件，并有效地营销任何其他产品。你可以为自己争取到新的机会。你可以结交朋友并影响他人。你可以优雅从容地驾驭生活，因为你不再是心智的奴隶，而是它的主人。
除了工作之外，你还能如何成功？有钱为你的独立工作买单的是人。拥有你想要的资源和机会的是人。即使你的目标是找份工作，如果你不懂这一点，你又怎么能得到你梦寐以求的工作呢？
但是，到底该如何“学习”人性这种无形的东西呢？
在这封信中，我希望能提供这一点：你可以今天就开始应用的步骤和原则，这将给你带来竞争优势，胜过其他所有试图尽可能快地获得成功的人，因为他们以为AI能凭空拯救他们，弥补他们经验的匮乏。
温馨提示：如果你想通过在社交媒体上写作来建立受众（以吸引那些支持你独立工作的人），训练营将在5天后开始。请在此之前在此报名。
## 人性的剖析（以及如何利用它）
心智是一个故事引擎。
这是人类无法不关注的东西。
机器人在实用性方面很有用。如果车管所（DMV）完全自动化且效率提高，没人在乎。哪个神智正常的人会期待排几个小时的队，仅仅为了驾照上的新照片？
快餐或坐优步（Uber）也是如此。没人喜欢收银员搞错你的订单。没人喜欢坐在脏兮兮的后座上，而一个你不认识的人仅仅为了想让你给小费而问你这一天过得怎么样。
让机器人去解决实用性问题，这样人类就可以抽象出意义、目的和叙事。
人类喜欢赌注。当他们的球队在最后一节快要输时，我们的胸口会发紧。人类喜欢新奇。我们满世界跑去五星级餐厅用餐。
掌握人性就是掌握故事。
但我不是要教你写小说。不。相反，我要教你创造价值的原则。如果你理解了这些，你会写得更好，说得更好，创造出更好的产品，吸引更多的客户，结交更多的朋友，并理解如何为他人创造价值，从而提升你自己的价值。
这些听起来可能不像你在ChatGPT生成的那些致富要点总结那样极其具体或极其实用（反正你对那些总结也什么都没做），但如果你让即将学到的这些内容在接下来的几个月里在脑海中酝酿，并尝试在日常生活中发现它们，你看待世界的方式将会改变。
本质上，我是在一口气教你营销、销售以及如何影响他人。
心智有三个压力点。按下其中任何一个，注意力几乎是身不由己的（当然，前提是你正在和一个容易受到那种特定紧张感影响的人交谈）。如果你按下全部三个，你对这个人的掌控力是仅靠逻辑无法打破的。
如果你能将这“三种紧张感”刻在脑海里，并在每次写作、说话或与他人互动时记住它们——你会惊讶于有多少机会向你招手。
1) 生存紧张
心智是一个故事引擎，但它也是一套生存策略。
我们处于持续的、潜意识的威胁检测模式，因为我们仍然拥有与狩猎采集祖先相同的线路。显然，我们不想死，所以我们渴望安全和对问题的解决方案（如果你能让某人意识到一个问题，然后提供解决方案，这就是销售的精髓。）
但这里的“安全”不仅仅指物理上的生死存亡。它存在于一个光谱上。即使是最小的问题，如果我们任由它们占据头脑，看起来也可能像世界末日。这些问题可能是财务上的、社交上的，甚至仅仅是关于一个错失的机会，那个机会本可以让你领先（或者有更好的生存机会）。
举几个例子：
- 你在30岁时醒来，发现自己一直自动驾驶般地生活，现实中的你和理想中的你之间的差距太大，以至于改变感觉是不可能的。
- 你花了十年时间构建别人的梦想，结果发现他们根本不在乎你。
- 有比你笨的人赚的钱是你的10倍，因为他们不思考风险。
正如你可能已经察觉到的，这些听起来像是我的一些社交媒体帖子，它们表现非常好，因为它们击中了让人们停下来、思考并渴望潜在解决方案的心理杠杆。
2) 身份紧张
生存比物理上的生存要深得多。
虽然动物只试图复制其基因中的信息，但人类试图复制其意识中的信息。
这就是为什么当你的运动队快要输时你会感到受威胁，也是为什么如果有人为此嘲笑你，你可能会大打出手。这就是为什么你选择“反AI”或“亲AI”，并整天争论不休，鹦鹉学舌般重复“AI正在腐烂你的大脑”，而不是选择这两种新宗教中的任何一种，用现实检验你的理论，并寻求真相而非炒作。绝对化的思维模式会让你被骗，成为别人心理操纵的傀儡。
人类渴望部落。他们渴望地位。他们渴望归属感。
因为如果他们没有这些，他们生存的机会就会低得多。你会下意识地采纳你文化和父母的价值观和信仰，因为如果你不这么做，每个人都会认为你是个失败者，没上过学，没工作，65岁退休。当然，这种情况正在改变，但在几十年里，这被认为是“安全且聪明”的路线。
我们将在下一节学习如何针对这种紧张感。
3) 进步紧张
到现在为止，你们中有些人已经可以看出规律了。
马斯洛需求层次理论。
自我发展的阶段。
广义的发展心理学。
我们的需求、价值观和欲望随着时间的推移而演变。
首先，人们需要安全和舒适。
其次，他们需要归属感和地位。
第三，他们渴望更深层的意义、目的和体验。
你可以随时渴望其中任何一种，但如果你处于不安全的环境中，或者你总是感到压力，你的心智就会变得狭窄，你无法超越你眼前的问题进行思考。一旦那个需求得到了很大程度的解决，或者得到了更好的控制，你就会开始渴望更高层次的地位、归属感，以及最终的进步：清晰、方向、目标和转变。
对于那些书写深刻思想和见解的创作者们，请明白，90%的人还没有准备好接受它们。你必须顺着梯子把他们带上来，首先通过你的内容或产品解决低层次的问题。
这一切听起来都很棒，但你实际上能用这些信息做什么？
它如何让你成为更好的作家、演讲者或商人？你如何将其作为一项技能来练习？
## 如何拉动心理杠杆以获得你想要的东西
> 现代的信息环境正在破坏我们的思考能力，大多数人甚至没有注意到。文章可能是最后几种真正能发展你理解现实能力的内容形式之一。
你可以阅读所有关于说服的书籍。
你可以研读心理学和行为学教科书。
你可能自以为了解很多关于人类为什么要这样思考和行动的原因，但如果你没有在现实中检验过这些知识，那么你就不知道你在说什么。
你需要反馈。你需要把东西发布到世界上，看看人们如何反应。你需要写作。你需要演讲。你需要创造一个产品并销售它。你需要“提供价值”，正如他们所说的那样。创业等于自我提升，因为市场和现实会成为你严厉的导师。
现在，请明白，“拉动心理杠杆”和“利用人性”只是“学会如何说服”的一种花哨说法。
这取决于使用工具的人，其道德色彩才随之而定。一个处于较低心智层次、只能看到个人生存之外别无他物的人，不可避免地会以不道德的方式使用说服术。他们唯一的优先事项是金钱，而不是意义，因为他们在经济上没有安全感，并将试图操纵和算计，以一种不源于价值交换和互利的方式获取金钱。
话虽如此，你要知道自己的立场。
有5个心理杠杆可以拉动三种紧张感中的一种或多种。
你首先要制造紧张感（这会让人们在你在写作、演讲、发帖或销售时集中注意力），然后你提供解决方案（最好以积极的方式改变行为）。
杠杆1：点破威胁（生存紧张）
在任何人关心解决方案（你的视频、产品、毕生工作等）之前，他们需要意识到问题，有5个意识层次（源自Eugene Schwartz——仅凭这些就能改变你的生意）：
1. 未意识到——他们不知道自己有问题。你通过点名来让他们意识到。
2. 问题意识——他们知道有问题，但不知道存在解决方案。你在这里命名解决方案。
3. 方案意识——他们知道存在解决方案，但他们正在比较选项，还不知道你独特的解决方案。
4. 产品意识——他们知道你的解决方案。他们需要证明、异议处理、推荐信等。
5. 最意识——他们只是还没有实施，只需要轻轻推一把。
当我写这些信时，我总是从点名一个问题开始。向上滚动看看第一句话，“没人该学什么技能。”这几乎能让任何人读我的信并获得价值，然后我慢慢引入一个解决方案的论证。我的大多数帖子也是这样开始的。
当你滚动社交媒体时，试着注意人们是如何做到这一点的，一旦你看到了，你就无法视而不见。
这里的实际步骤：
无论你在做什么，从写通讯到做演示，再到说服你的妻子让你和兄弟们出去玩一晚，都要从问题开始。构架情境。
想出5个你在生活中遇到过的问题 → 现在你有了5个比凭空思考更好的内容点子。
杠杆2：镜像身份（身份紧张）
你在没有意识到的情况下认同一个群体或部落。
做一个“早起的人”。
做一个“喝咖啡的人”。
做一个基督徒、无神论者、共和党人、民主党人、反AI者、亲AI者，或者我们喜欢采用并作为自己的一部分来捍卫的任何其他意识形态，且毫无益处。
举个例子，这里有一个获得390万次观看的YouTube视频标题：
它确实将我们讨论的所有内容打包成了8个字。问题、身份、解决方案。
有很多方法可以拉动身份杠杆，但我个人的首选就是以“如果你是……”开始。
就是这样。
如果你很懒。如果你身无分文。如果你不快乐。如果你是个作家。
砰，这就是4个引人注目的社交媒体帖子的开端，或者是一个公开演讲的开幕式，或者是一个YouTube视频的标题。
顺便说一句，如果你有人们已经在网上谈论的兴趣、技能或知识，我将在5天后开始的内容训练营中教你建立受众的系统。请在此之前在此报名。
杠杆3：排除人群（身份紧张，深化）
明确点名这不适合谁。
排除创造了归属感，它迫使人们选边站。
这最好在你在第2步镜像身份之后进行。划清界限会过滤掉那些本来就不会支持你的错误人选。
例如：“这不是给那些想‘尝试’健身的人准备的。这是给那些厌倦了自己的借口并准备好彻底改变生活的人准备的。”
“如果你在寻找生产力黑客或晨间例行程序，那你来错地方了。”
“这不是给那些想要微不足道的副业的人准备的。我们要在这里建立一个真正的生意。”
我想你懂了。
杠杆4：描绘转变（进步紧张）
本质上，掌握人性就是改变人们的生活。
至少这是最道德的版本。这就是你建立毕生工作的方式。你成为一个巨大的价值创造者。你专注于一个目标，而这个目标的核心是为尽可能多的人解决一个问题。说服只是你让人们对此达成一致的手段。
到目前为止，我们已经抓住了注意力（点破威胁），过滤掉了不匹配的人（镜像身份），现在我们通过模拟未来来创造欲望。
同样，你可能光看这个通讯的开头，就能看出我在很短的时间内击中了所有这些点。
为什么这有效？当你想象一种经历时，会激发与实际经历时相同的神经回路。因此，当你描绘一种潜在的改变（或某人个人故事的后续章节）时，你是在给他们一种他们尚未经历的未来生活的“体验感”。
如果这听起来不太实用，再次强调，你需要练习。你需要看到它在实际中如何运作。
为了帮助做到这一点，我把整篇文章变成了一个提示词。
你可以在写帖子、通讯、脚本，甚至销售页面或促销时使用它。这非常有帮助。它可以用作教学模式、写作模式或教练模式。
杠杆5：给出第一步（进步紧张，激活）
大多数人无法改变的原因是他们不相信自己能做到。
他们缺乏清晰度。
当前生活的舒适度比解决你提供解决方案的问题所需要的不适感更可取。
在推文中，这看起来像，“不要一夜之间彻底改变你的生活，只要早睡一个小时。”
在产品中，这看起来像是让第一步变得如此明显却又如此有益，以至于他们无法解释为什么以前没这样做。
给出一个小步骤会让“蔡格尼克效应”开始发挥作用，即大脑讨厌未完成的任务。一旦某人开始做某事，甚至开始考虑它，就会有一种想要解决的紧张感。
就是这样。
你越是练习这个，它对你能获得的任何其他技能的影响就越大。当人们学习最新的“高价值技能”时，他们实际上只是在学习人性的一个更具体的层次。
如果你学习元技能本身，你几乎可以掌握未来几年出现的任何高价值技能，因为那些拥有你想要的钱、机会或资源的人，都是人类。
把研究他们作为你的全职工作。
