ARTICLE I: NAME AND PURPOSE
1. Background and Motivation
Long-standing research in educational psychology has identified the growth mindset and future self-continuity as crucial factors in the success of young people. Notable works such as “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success” by Stanford University professor Carol S. Dweck and “Your Future Self: How to Make Tomorrow Better Today” by UCLA professor Hal Hershfield emphasize the importance of fostering these concepts. Recent innovations like the AI chatbot Future You, developed by a research team from MIT, Harvard, UCLA, and the Thai tech company KBTG, illustrate the potential of technology in promoting personal development [1]. Moreover, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, loneliness has emerged as a significant public health challenge, becoming a new epidemic [2]. This reality underscores the urgent need for easily accessible and well-structured activities with a clear development pathway that engage people of all ages and backgrounds, supporting their physical and mental well-being and fostering continued growth.
