10–25
David Yeager · book + talk
A book-and-talk learning pack about motivating young people through status, respect, high standards and real support.
Why it’s here
I first heard about 10 to 25 during Orientation at school, when the principal recommended it. Later, several classmates in the community mentioned the book too, and someone found David Yeager’s full talk. With both the book and video available, this page brings the related material together: the original book PDF, the full talk, a corrected transcript, bilingual summaries, a transcript page for reading along, and my own mindset deck.
Eric’s own summary — the mindset deck
The 26-page deck is my structure, not a chapter-by-chapter summary of the book. It opens with a mind map that splits mindset in two: the growth mindset inside the learner, and the mentor mindset of the person facing them. The whole deck is then built around the three questions from our session — what a mindset really is, whether trying harder is enough, and what to do when you finally start and it feels awful. Every question is followed by a reference answer, and every quotation in it is tagged with where it came from: the book, the talk transcript, Yeager’s Huberman Lab interview, or Peak by Ericsson and Pool. The last five pages are the how-to — transparency, questioning, stress, purpose, belonging — each with a sentence you can actually say out loud. One honest note: connecting Peak to 10 to 25 is my own bridge; Yeager never cites Ericsson.
This is simply a convenient download relay. You do not need to take everything, and downloading a file does not count as learning it. Pick one question you genuinely want to understand, read or watch a little, then try one idea. Learning is endless; time is not. Leave the rest to JOMO.
我第一次听说 10 to 25,是在学校 Orientation 上,校长推荐了这本书。后来社群里的同学也几次提到它,还有同学找到了 David Yeager 的完整讲座。既然书和视频都齐了,这里就把相关资料放在一起:原书 PDF、完整讲座、校订后的转录、中英文总结、可以边看边学的 transcript 页面,以及我自己整理的 mindset deck。
Eric 的总结版:mindset deck
这份 26 页的 deck 是我自己的结构,不是逐章摘要。开头一张导图把 mindset 分成两边:一边是学习者自己的 growth mindset,一边是面对他的人的 mentor mindset;全篇围绕那场聊天的三个问题展开——mindset 到底是什么、光努力够不够、开始了却很难受怎么办。每个问题后面都跟着参考答案,答案里的每一句引文都标了出处:原书、演讲逐字稿、Yeager 在 Huberman Lab 的采访,或 Ericsson 的 Peak。最后五页讲怎么做——transparency、questioning、stress、purpose、belonging,每一项都给一句可以直接说出口的话。有一点要说明:把 Peak 接到 10 to 25 上是我自己的连接,书里并没有提到 Ericsson。
这里只是一个方便取用的下载中转站。资料不必全部带走,更不用下载完就当作已经学过。选一个眼下真正想理解的问题,读一点、看一点,再试着用一个想法。学海无涯,时间有限;剩下的,安心 JOMO。
