Ask HN: Could you critique the idea? (Newbie)

2 pointsby CobraKaialmost 4 years ago
OOf, I&#x27;m dreading the critiques (ironically) but would love your input on our idea.<p>Do you care too much what people think about you&#x2F;your project&#x2F;your ideas?<p>Do you STOP doing fun things you enjoy because of how it looks or how it&#x27;ll be interpreted by others? Even though you know deep inside literally no one is really paying attention to what you&#x27;re doing?<p>Do you NOT go to movies alone, restaurants alone, have inhibitions in talking to customers because of fear or rejection, and what people will think of you?<p>There is an evidence based of techniques to alter your behavior with cognitive therapy. We propose such a 8 week bootcamp course (weekly lessons and exercises) to reduce this as much as possible.<p>My co-founder (a psychologist with expertise in behavioral change) and I (a physician) are considering whether people would find this useful.

It’s not clear to me what you’re asking people to critique.<p>Life coaching and cognitive behavioral therapy are both already things, and there are people who definitely find them useful, as well as people who don’t find them useful.

I&#x27;d recommend the <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;startupschool.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;startupschool.org</a> video curriculum to help you learn how to find your answers. They are also on YouTube iirc<p>Seems like a worthy idea to pursue. At some point you will need to leave your current profession to scale the idea and have a bigger impact on the world. Email me if you want to talk about the technical side, I might be able to be interested
