The premise of this book as is as follows: major life transitions, such as starting college, or graduating college and starting a career, can be daunting. There are an infinite number of possible paths to take, and no one is able to tell us whether we are making the right choice. Success, no matter how you define it, is not part of a simple equation. While there are common traits among those we deem successful, there is no clear delineated path or recipe for success.
Tina Seelig is a faculty director of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program and received her PhD in Neuroscience from Stanford School of Medicine. She is an excellent teacher and has won several accolades in recognition of her education work. This book summarizes her model for reaching our highest potential and her life philosophy. That being said, this information is relevant regardless of age.
This is Part 1 of 2, including:
- What is an Entrepreneur?
- School is Not an Accurate Representation of the Real World

Part 2 goes over:

tell your mom "failure is an important part of life's learning process" then show her your exam score
Tell that to Asian mothers
Then comes her shoe right on our face
@KHABIB TIME!!! age doesn't matter
@KHABIB TIME!!! bro im 18 and my asian mom does that
@KHABIB TIME!!! i am 25 and still can get beaten if i fail any exam 🤣
"learn to fail" tell that to any strict parent domestic or foreign.
That's what I was thinking haha xD
NC Aråb I'm think I'm lucky. My parents are strict but understanding at the same time.
I am considered an incredibly strict parent. I ensure that my children learn to fail, and my reputation for strictness is probably a part of this reputation rather than in spite of it.
@@reyespiano945 mine too
Failure only works for rich people. If you fail too much and are poor, you are out of the game
I am going to be 25 in 3 months. Most of the topics you spoke about I learned when I was in the military. For obvious reasons, people in the military (males) have a high suicide rate. So to prevent that, there are mandatory programs being taught to service members at least 3 times a year. This is actually an additional duty called Master Resilience course. Very similar to what Steve Jobs said about bouncing back and making the best out of any situation. Awesome video as always, keep it up!
I love how he illustrates the non-linearity of human choice making with a maze, which is the exact opposite of what he is talking about. "Many correct ways" and "no one can tell you whether your choice is right" in the case of a maze there is only one predetermined and unambiguous way to solve it.
I love your videos. They have changed my life the last couple months. I absolutely love the science background you incorporate in every video as well. Thank you for making this stressful time of mcatting and applying a little easier for me! Please keep them coming!
i couldnt focus on what you were saying cause your drawing skills are some next level shit
Your Bass Fix - Cleanest Bass Boosted Music He's using a program, that's not his hand ^^
xKaidou do you know which program that is?
Erkan Alles I don't but I have seen it in many videos from different channels, I'm sure you will find it after a little research.
It's videoscribe, he mentoined it under another video

Great video. Thank you for the hard work you put into this video. Excited for Part 2 next week. :DDD!!
This video came on the perfect time when I really need it! Good job, wish me luck to pursue med school :)
Love the content that you offer in the videos ! Its inspiring and so extremely useful. I appreciate you taking the time to make them for us . Keep up the amazing work. These videos have been helping me alot on my journey to medical school .
after 40 years I will retire and then expire in a few decades ..
..being Happpy and wise is .👌
Do prayer it helps I don't do it but I know it help b3ing happy
This thing of internal/external failure feeling is sooo important! Difference between anxiety riddled souls and growth-mentality ones.
Thank you for this video. Reminds me to be more open minded to take risks
LOVE these book reviews!! Thank you so much for these 😊
you should make podcast
Med School Insiders yea I bet the graphics take time to make, but a podcast would be great Becuase we would get the same content but a greater quantity and it wouldn't require a lot of extra work from your part. You are awesome!
This guy almost certainly outsources graphics on a website like Fiverr, so it doesn't require his own work.
This is awesome thanks for sharing!
LOVEEEEEEEEE YOUR CHANNEL!!
just passing by here in the comment to let you know you did an awesome job with the videos!! THANK YOUUUUUUUU
I like this, particular, channel.
Amazing video. Just the right amout of information to start chasing an awesome life. Keep up the good work ; )
I LOVE that you included someone with a disability at 4:06. I'm not physically disabled but I definitely appreciate you doing that for the ones who are. You rock!
charlottechau you are beautiful with your appreciation of those people as I tend to unnoticed.
lol i thought u mean the teacher
charlottechau Just because he has a wheelchair doesn't mean he's disabled. Please don't assume if they're disabled or not, it's like assuming someone's gender.
DL DD if someone has a wheelchair they are disables
DL DD disabled*
These type channels need to take over UA-cam, as opposed to Reaction channels and FAIL channels.
Awesome. I started to read this book a few years ago but didn't finish it, now I want to read it again

JAY YOU ARE AWESOME
THANK YOU!!
This is great!
subscribed! love it
your editing is mind blowing. 😍😍😍
Seeing a lot of people talk about the fear of telling their parents that mistakes are a process to success. Hope that everybody remembers that just because somebody disapproves of this doesn’t mean immunity to failure, it just makes getting back up hell. Accept your flaws and use them to your advantage, advice is just advice at the end of the day 🖤
thank you sir :D I am studying computer engineering right now and I found your tips is very helpful :) needless to say I am appreciate your work :)
I like this. Thank you.
Worth watching it.. Thanks
Love you channel, helping me a lot ! ( medical grad)
after school you BECOME your own teacher,

Problems are abundant and are waiting for the right people to find INVENTIVE solutions
So engaged!

How do you make your videos? Do you film your hand on a grean screen for a bit and use that to animate your videos or do you sketch on a paper, I can't tell, it looks like alot of work though.
In regards to 3:57, I would say though that I have worked at several places where the bonus/performance rating is graded based on the normal distribution, like in the school example
Love the video! Which medical school do you attend by the way? 😉✨
I love how she said “earn” and not “use the 5 dollars”
i'm planning on watching this sunday, when i turn 20
hey! like your videos, but who maks the whiteboard animation? do you do it yourself or is it outsourced to someone else, i see the style around a lot and i love it.
13:45
The classic "If it looks stupid but it works, it ain't stupid"
i litterally fit every criteria of this video, what am i not succesful then ? x)
Thank you po
thank you so much for making these videos. Your vids help me gain a lot more insight
Your videos are inspiring and motivational.Thank you!
Hey man great video, what software do you use to edit your videos?
I love thia Dr.Jay , do you recommend any other books ?
what to do when you don't want to get 20 and stay young forever? I'? 19 btw 😔😓
M. drug tested
Your 21 now congrats tou can finally drink 😂
This video made me think of Caesar
Make a choice and learn to adapt for your purpose
At 29 going on 30 in 2 weeks this is VERY accurate
What do you use to illustrate/animate your video?
I just turned 20!
"Tina encourages more failing??"
Yh right!
I am 20,have incredibly low self esteem and confidence. I can't talk to people at all. Its literally eating me alive.
I'm turning 20 soon so this was great for me 😂
I recently bought the book. I'm 20 :D
binging your videos during ramadan lol
6:55 You're*
Literally unwatchable
which video editor is used in this video?
Thank you so much for this inspiring video. I myself had recently been through some hard times, could even be my rock bottom and i guess it's because of taking risk like you said. However I was proud of myself by trying my best despite the fact that i could fail.
8:14
You are more optimistic than most people. I'm pessimistic.
wow first expression great second and third magnificent
what if you failed badly in highschool and your dreams and ambitions for the future were crushed? would that count as success disguised as failure or just plain failure?
What's the name of the instrumental
okay back to the bicycle thing, how did they afford the tire barometer? goes to show that some people have an advantage when they already have resources.
What a wonderful time to be alive
Thank you so much for your taking your time to make these awesome content!
My solution to the $5 challenge is to never open the envelop and use $5 out of your pocket , now you just have endless time to win anyone else , I paused the video and felt super smart for finding a loophole
are you doing another book review soon?
sounds all very inspirational, but most people will never be able to do anything like this. there's so many things you need to be good at to be a successful entrepreneur that very few people manage to get it all done, ever. judging the exercise by picking out only the winners is just not accurate. no one ever points to the overwhelming majority who never become successful with their business. it's just hyping success as if it's all within your reach if you are creative enough (spoiler alert: very few people are very creative)
With that mindset you of course won't get anywhere. If say you started tomorrow playing piano for an hour every day, you would be pretty damn good at the end of the year. It's all about time investment.
Most people are paralyzed by the fear of not being good enough, people struggle to understand they won't be the same people in five years from now. People struggle to understand that life doesn't matter so much anyways.
If you watch TV two hours a day for a couple years, chances are you become a master at watching TV, but it might not be a desirable skill to develope.
What's a lot more engaging for the brain and going to improve your ability to think critically, is to actively make decisions of your own.
People these days act like sponges, but what you want to do is actually get going. Just DO what you want to do and you will get better. You will fail, often, very often, but in defeat you will be a lot more likely to question your actionsc correct your mistakes and make it better next time.
I think I agree with most of what you say. I was not promoting a lazy, irresponsible, fatalistic attitude. Personally I'm a huge fan or taking responsibility and making the best of what you got, so we shouldn't be talking past each other. All I'm saying is he's selling many people unattainable fairy tales. He makes it seem like effort, strategy and practice can get you anything you want, which is false. For example: if you have an IQ below 100 (which is 50% of the population), you are pretty much never going to be a successful entrepreneur with a big business, or be a deep, critical thinker. You're setting them up for failure and unhappiness because the goals are just too far out of reach. And the idea that anyone can play the piano well, as long as they try hard enough, doesn't wash either. We are limited creatures, we have our biology and conditioning that made us who we are, and we can't just easily change any of it.
So, don't take this kind of advice too seriously, but set achievable goals that fit your personality, interests and capabilities. Then pursue them, work hard and be responsible, improve yourself and your character slowly but surely, and you'll make your life better, even if you don't get in Med School, build a big business or have a sophisticated job. Even if you're a house cleaner or collect garbage. This kind of thinking that holds up people like Steve Jobs as exemplars for anyone to follow is just foolish. There is a reason the Steve Jobs of this world are only 0,0001% of the population. Any kind of complicated, thoughtful, creative and stressful enterprise is only for a small minority of people.
That's not to say the lessons in this video are worthless (they're valuable), it's just that success defined in the popular way is not achievable for most people. It's a terrible idea of success, I think.
Sorry for wall of text, reading half of it will do.
I do agree in a certain way and disagree in a certain way. But let me tell you I'm glad to hear these lines:
"set achievable goals that fit your personality, interests and capabilities. Then pursue them, work hard and be responsible, improve yourself and your character slowly but surely."
Exactly, it's about the skills you aquire and you want to aquire. Different tasks you take on like say making a tasty burger or being the president require different skills and it's up to the person to develope these skills to make progress.
However I get a mixed impressing of your understand on how shapeable the human brain is. You say, step by step one can achieve what one wants. Of course you shouldn't take on tasks you are not prepared for, but generally I'd say you can do anything really IF you set your mind to it. IQ can be easily improved, it is NOT given to people, it is attained. Perhaps some people got away with a higher IQ because of certain habits during their childhood (private schools, special hobbies), but if you start doing something that requires you to better memorize things(information), how to manage and combine different pieces of information, that really is all IQ is about. It is about seeing connections other people don't see as abstract as they might seem. Einstein disregarded his own theories as rubbish for a while.
In the end I guess you are still right about not everyone achieving his/her goals, of becoming a talented Doctor or Music Artist, but that mostly stems from the fact that our society needs people to care for other things that have less to do with creativity. The logic result of more and more people striving to live their dream job is - unless the need for those people increases at the same pace - higher and higher competition.
That means, it can be brutally hard to get where you want to get, because there will most likely always be someone working harder than you do.
In the end though, it might not necessarily be about being the best, but: "Are my services good enough? Are there people willing to pay for it?"
Off-topic.
In the long run (far future), if things don't end horribly, physical workers will become more and more disposable and people capable of administrating and managing complex systems will be needed.
Food isn't something we have to worry about anymore. The greatest worries of the individual person of the first world are: Loneliness, a lack of passion in life, generelly factors that feed depression.
Our brains are build in a way that makes us able to feel boredom. You can put most living beings into a cage and they will for the most part be fine if you feed them, but if you put a human into a cage, their brain will literally start starving.
Boredom is a feeling we developed to prevent our brain from becoming underdeveloped. It seems this trait turned out to be beneficial, humans that strive to gather knowledge always ended up adapting to their environment more efficiently leading to more offspring.
The moment you stopped asking questions doing your work, the moment you realize you are barely excracting new knowledge from your working experience, you will start to feel bored.
You will perceive it as a rather tedious task. I don't want that to happen in my life and I refuse to take on some braindead job if I don't have to.
My dream is to become a gamedesigner and potentially be way up there. It's going to be a long and tough journey, but eventually after many years I may say: Worth it.
Let's stick with our agreement on that. I think that is the most important part, not to what extent we are free from constraint/able to get whatever we want.
Well yeah, step by step, but only if you set attainable goals. I'm not aware that IQ can be easily improved. As far as I know, there are definite limits on our intelligence, even if our practices make a (serious) difference when it comes to what we do with it (how effective we are). IQ is highly correlated with the IQ of your biological parents, according to scientific research.
But all I really take issue with is that "you can do anything really IF you set your mind to it." That's just pushing people into failure and depression, because this implies that IF you don't achieve something, it's because of your lack of effort and strength. That's just not true and not helpful either.
No matter what I do, I'll never be a concert pianist, or a special forces member, a rocket scientiest, a NBA-player or a happy full time sales worker. No matter how hard I try. And there are many more things that just aren't realistic for me to do. And that's fine. Do you really think everyone is capable of being a great artist? It's just not true, more like wishful thinking. Most people can't come up with many genuinely new, different, beautiful things. Many people can't memorize/process complicated information very well, even though they have been taught in schools for 16 years. They aren't bored as fast as you as well. There's illnesses, mental disabilities and personal tragedies, as well as our other innate or societal limitations. That's why not everyone achieves their goals, let alone their greatest dreams.
On a personal level, I think you have a dream and the determination to pursue it. I really hope you make it there. I'd encourage anyone to fight for what they believe they can do, just be fair to them and honest. Don't judge people based on your personal experience and capabilities.
Bananerbauer123, It's not _all_ about the mindset though. There is a real world in which you have to compete for success and have some pure talent/gift. If Elon wasn't a competent mathematician, businessman and physicist, he would't be able to enter the automobile industry and disrupt it. It's all well and good to say he succeeds because of self-belief but there's plenty of narcissistic 40+ year old's who still believe they'll make it big in show biz. Gotta be realistic about you're own abilities we're, not all gifted in the same things and some of us are not very gifted at all despite what primary school teachers will say. A lot of people are only fit to do basic directed work through no fault of their own. You can usually, however, better your situation with some hard work and dedication.
what's the name of that song in the beginning of the video?
What a coincidence because I'm about to turn 20 in 12 days.

6:55 Anyone else bothered by the error in that meme?
Well it's trump who said that so
I'm actually turning 20 next year. Y'all think it'd be worth getting this book?
Fail a lot but fail forward.
problems=opportunities
Failure is good: Trial and error
Herd mentality:People are influenced by peers to follow a certain way of behavior
