Many people asking for book recommendation. Earlier this month Byan's mailing list has something really inspiration and I can't agree more with his recommendation for people at every levels.
First let's familiarize with the terminology with his framework. Since his popular book successfully introduced in China "Success Mindsets", I have been following his work.
How we perceive our action, and the world around us, is more important than the action itself. He calls this internal operation systems. Systems Mind 1.0, Mind 2.0, and Mind 3.0. Each is programmed to fulfill different needs as follows:
Mind 1.0 – We are programmed to ensure our safety, comfort, and belonging (Good Soldier)
Mind 2.0 – We are programmed to stand out, advance, and get ahead (Progress Maker)
Mind 3.0 – We are programmed to contribute, add value, and lift others (Value Creator)
Research has found that 64% of all adults operate at Mind 1.0, 35% operate at Mind 2.0, and only 1% operate at Mind 3.0.
In the recent article he introduced further Mind 1.5, Mind 2.5, and Mind 3.5 half steps.
The distinction is on the degree to which one is focused on themselves or a group beyond themselves. You should be able to see this in the following:
Mind 1.0 – I am programmed to ensure my safety, comfort, and belonging
Mind 1.5 – I am programmed to ensure the safety, comfort, and belonging of my group
Mind 2.0 – I am programmed to ensure I stand out, advance, and get ahead
Mind 2.5 – I am programmed to ensure we stand out, advance, and get ahead
Mind 3.0 – I am programmed to ensure I contribute, add value, and lift others
Mind 3.5 – I am programmed to ensure we contribute, add value, and lift others
