Regarding the car and stress examples, I used them a number of times in presenting this material to college students (I am a professor at Ohio State), such as in this video. I got pretty good feedback from students about them. For example, one student wrote in an anonymous feedback form “”I really enjoyed the workshop. It helped me to see some of the problems I may be employing in my thinking about life and other people… Something I gained from this workshop are tools to help me be a less stressed-out person.” This is one of several data points I have indicating that students benefit from tools for less stress. For the road rage in particular, studies show that youth are particularly prone to road rage.
However, I don’t want to trust what I already know about young people. On the Intentional Insights Advisory Board, we have the leader of the Secular Student Alliance, a national organization that has over 300 student clubs as affiliates around the country. We are working with them to bring rationality content to a young audience. So I’ll run the article by them and see what they think.
The questions at the end are aimed to get people to think about the material and leave comments, it’s worked well in our past blogs, but I’ll keep an eye on this and experiment, thanks for pointing it out!
Appreciate the constructive criticism, thank you!
