Please keep these questions in mind as you read through the chapter 6(going first class). 1. Schwartz argues that “Going First Class” isn’t about money — it’s about choosing quality in every decision. Do you think this distinction actually holds up in the real world, or does going first class almost always come down to having more resources? 2. He claims that looking important helps you think important — that appearance shapes mindset. Is this true psychology, or is it a surface-level idea that prioritizes image over substance? 3. Schwartz says you become like the people you spend the most time with. Is environment really that powerful — or do strong individuals shape their environment rather than the other way around? 4. The chapter pushes the idea that average people wait to “earn the right” to act first class, while first-class people act that way from the start. Where’s the line between confidently stepping into a higher level — and pretending to be something you’re not? 5. Schwartz teaches that how you see yourself dictates how others see you. Do you think self-image is the cause of how the world treats you, or just a reflection of how the world has already treated you?

Please keep these questions in mind while reading “How to think and dream creatively?” & heading to our discussion. 1. Schwartz redefines creative thinking as “finding new and better ways to do anything.” Do you think this definition holds up — or is real creativity something more specific than that? 2. He claims that belief in possibility is the first step toward creative thinking. Is belief actually the starting point — or does evidence have to come first? 3. Schwartz argues that tradition is the biggest enemy of creative thinking. When is tradition a strength to protect — and when does it become a cage that needs to be broken? 4. The chapter says capacity is a state of mind, not a fixed measurement. Do you agree that human capacity is essentially mindset-driven, or are there real, hard limits Schwartz is downplaying? 5. Schwartz says big thinkers listen more than they speak. In a world that increasingly rewards loud opinions and constant content, is “listening more” still a competitive advantage — or has the game changed?

Chapter 4 discussion and reflection questions. Please keep these in mind as you read chapter 4. How does the author define “big thinking” and do you agree with his definition? What examples from the chapter best illustrate the power of thinking big? What obstacles most commonly prevent people from adopting a big thinking mindset? How do big thinkers approach problems differently than average thinkers? How does a person’s environment influence the size of their thinking? Why do most people default to small thinking even when they have big potential?
