I miss the old skill tree... I feel confused when I rummage through the new one from time to time. Oftentimes I'm looking for intersecting nodes and finding them just is not as obvious as it used to be in the old tree. With that said, the new tree is still way more useful for me personally, than the automated suggestions box.
Cheerful (and light-hearted, humour-filled) schadenfreude: That's how you get emails sent to you that totally (don't) misrepresent a conversation you had with someone, with those emails ending with the tag line: "No need to reply if there is nothing that you want to add to or amend in the above summary." Your responsibility to read your emails, correct? Your hazard if you don't.

Please never ignore making the SKILL TREE better. I understand it's not for everyone but tt's so much better for meeting people where they are at if they are already familiar with skill trees in video games :). It was so easy to get into and get what I need out of the guide.
The "If you have something important please send it to me in an email" immediately followed by "Dude you know I don't read my emails" without skipping a beat was GOLD
I literally just bought the guide 2 days ago because I've been suffering really badly with my mental health. I discovered you back during the summer and no one has helped me more with my mental health than you Dr. K, from the the bottom of my heart thank you so much for all you do!
Fasting or keto diet for mental health. Hmmm I've never seen or heard a professional recommend those as options . Possibly BC that would be similar to treating diarrhea with eyeglasses.
@@vickimoerschfelder3313 Both the Keto Diet and Intermittent Fasting can positively impact mental health by stabilizing blood sugar levels and promoting brain energy efficiency. The Keto Diet increases ketone production, which provides a steady energy source for the brain, potentially reducing anxiety and depression. Intermittent Fasting can enhance neuroplasticity, reduce inflammation, and increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), supporting better mood and cognitive function.

the skill tree is super overwhelming to see imo I couldn’t keep going because I didn’t know where I should go. I am so glad you introduced a new way, and I am hoping I do not get overwhelmed. Thank you Dr K.
Thank god. I was scared crapless that I would never again see my CYOA FFX-inspired Sphere Grid. I look forward to seeing it continue to grow with each new module! Of course, the "inviting" and "accessible" and "understable" new version is fine too I guess. If, like, you're into that sort of thing. Seems like a skill issue though, ngl :)
@@citypavement I don’t think that’s what Kirith was trying to say-they were just expressing a preference for the skill tree. Personally, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with presenting ads like this. It was clear to me within the first 10 seconds that it was an ad, so I didn’t feel tricked into watching it. I actually kept watching because I found it entertaining. I also don’t see it as clickbait, the guides were shown in the thumbnail and the title includes "my team", which makes it clear it’s a video about the company.
@@Ren-0 I could have swore I replied to a different comment that was more relevant. In any case, I am old and from a time when clickbait was anything stupidly named like "You won't believe THIS happened!" I already clicked it and after the first 10 seconds it's too late to take it back, rewarding this behaviour. I probably overreacted but it was disappointing to think it was actually of substance before clicking.
in the guide Dr K mentions which things you should watch next, and that you should do one thing for weeks before starting the next. or other mentions of limits on how much you should watch in a day…. that doesn’t line yup with how any of the guide works. i feel like it would be better if it just generated google calendar items or something. or just had a timeline or calendar of some kind so we know exactly what and when
1:32 As a C++ dev who has also done a bit of web-dev GG to the devs and artists who worked on this. I can feel my problems go away just by looking at it. Looks like some nice *Material-UI* stuff :)
This is wildly hilarious. Please occasionally post more of these and make it a running joke. And I like the dynamic between you and Brandon. You should have him in the videos to break it up more and add some comedy to them.
I think I understand both sides here. After working for a bit on a skill-tree'ish project I eventually realized that its only redeeming qualities are that it looks nice, explains the area in broad strokes and reflects the amount of effort that went into it, but actually navigating it is kind of a chore, and a plain list of available next steps is much easier to work with.
As a random guy that doesn't have an HG account, I'd say having a link straight to the Checkout page on this video's description is a bad call; It's the first thing you see when you want to look into more information, and you won't get much of it since it's the checkout page, the actual guide with the products contents is hidden behind a 'show more' button on the description. Maybe it was on purpose so the user could see 'oh this is a thing I can buy/pay for' with the least amount of clicks, but in that case you should add a big link to the guide on the checkout page so people have more context on what's going on or in case they need a refresher on what they're purchasing before getting money involved.
I'm glad you didn't get rid of the skill tree as an option. Too many services try to force you to use their "better" approach without considering the people who actually prefer the old style. Having both as an option is exactly how it should be
I like the FFX skill tree. But I admit its hard to parse and the new way will be better for many people (including me, though I’ll still use the skill tree)
Thank you for all the hard work the HG team and Dr K has done for us and the Guides. Whether or not we use the skill tree or catered guide, thank you for all the you have done.
I would love for the meditation part to have full guided meditations eventually! 🙏 I know it’s more so showing the pew guide and you can do it alongside but I feel like I’d love for there to be some full guided ones as well.
TBH, if it were originally presented with the "new" UI, i never would have bought it. The "skill tree" approach is the *only* reason I gave it a chance in the first place!
I loved the quiz Idea!! Even do I love the Skill tree it can be alitle overwhelming but I think that this new modality can help us get a first aproach to the full guide
i love the skill-tree. i would also love to be able to take notes on the individual nodes or on the videos... but thats probably too much. i can take notes in google docs :)
I love the skill tree! When I first thought it was gone I was so upset xD I purchased it last year and I like to come back to it every now and then, and I remember where I last stopped visually so I find it really useful! Thanks for all of your hard work HG!
I'm happy for Dr. K to have a team like this. They seem to have the set of skills to combine Dr.K’s expertise with modern video editing techniques to make videos more eye catching. Dr.K will go so much further beyond and I can’t imagine how successful this channel will be in the future. Dr.K has saved my life multiple times and I only wish for good things for him. ❤
Great work! I'm surprised more companies don't use quizzes to actually tailor the content. One idea I love is to have "stats" and show what videos I would need to increase my stat in a certain area. Maybe things like emotional resilience, decision making, focus, etc.
As someone who's bought the guides before this change, and has severe ADHD, I am SO relieved with this change. The skill tree was arduous to get through with my limited attention span.
I can see how the new UI might be more comfortable for people who aren't gamers. Thank you for keeping the skill tree. I haven't bought the guide yet, but I plan to...and I need the skill tree XD
Amazing! Both models look awesome 💥 If you're looking to add more, attachment issues and dealing with PDs might latch in nicely and help people better navigate relationships. Thanks for all the great insight and guidance 🙏
What's missing in the guide is a place to take personal notes on each video. Also the videos would benefit greatly from the quizwithit system created by Sabine Hossenfelder (AI system that automatically creates a quiz from a video to help you remember its content)
I find the skill tree pretty intuitive actually, and quizzes and stuff feel more like a black box where I don't know how the program is making its decisions-but maybe the playlist thing will be a little easier on mobile. As much as I like the map, it's so teensy on a phone screen 😂
I like both. The recommendation stuff helps with decision paralysis but sometimes I want to learn about ADHD and depression is recommended, as an example. I love being able to just glance at the skill tree though and see my completion percentages going up lol. Just slowly coloring in the map.
I'm with the Doctor on this one, I love the skill tree. Having these personalized lists just makes it feel too disconnected. I need to see where I'm going. Don't get me wrong, I love the sorting for the Meditations, that's fine. I just need the tree man.
I understand the need to shape the guide for people who aren't necessarily gamers. I feel like most people i've told about HG aren't gamers, but I still love the fact that the skill tree is still there.
I didn't know your course had a skill tree. I'm going to save money to join it, because the dollar conversion makes it extremely high in Brazil. I've been looking for a gamified approach for mental health and chronic illness. From the video, it seems like you worked a lot on that skill tree. It's interesting and exciting. Why would your team insist on making it a playlist model? Spotify is getting torn apart every other day for the excess of playlists and making everything into a playslist. You don't listen to music anymore, you are fed endless playlists that "know" exactly how you're feeling and what you've experienced... The example might be a little extreme, but the playlist trend is saturated. Don't market it as a playlist, at least. Also, The Skill Tree has so much more to do with your brand. If you wanna go mainstream, ok. But the ones that actually spend money are NEVER the mainstream audience. Just do a skill tree more adapted to mainstream, then. But never abandon your "niche," because they are the ones who spend money. They are the ones who stay.
Peep the awesome skill tree (or the BORING way) here: bit.ly/3ZNiI2S 👀
I'm gonna respec into ADHD/Anxiety build. Depression/Trauma is way too hard to play and Meditation doesn't seem to deal much damage.
I've been doing your Ajna/Third Eye meditation for a few weeks now and it's been really cool! Here's hoping I don't level up and slip into another dimension.
Not everyone wants to play Path of Exile skill tree when resolving their internal problems.

There's just too much energy to contain in one driven doc! Stay safe y'all out there.
