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?
