Editing High Agency (section)

=== Key Contributions ===

* '''Mental Reprogramming''': Mack introduces five core "lines of code" designed to override limiting beliefs. These include assertions such as ''“there are no true adults”'' and ''“there is no normal”'', encouraging readers to break out of passive or socially conditioned thinking.

* '''Actionable Tools''': He recommends writing down problems to externalize thought, tracking real-world metrics (such as weight or financial burn rate), and designing a "dream week" to clarify life goals and constraints.

* '''Democratizing High Agency''': While Weinstein emphasized the accidental or trauma-induced emergence of high-agency individuals, Mack focuses on '''intentional cultivation'''—suggesting that this mindset can be learned and scaled through habits, reflection, and strategic self-questioning.

Mack's work has helped bring the ''high agency'' concept to a broader audience, translating an originally abstract or elite trait into a '''replicable mental model'''. His essay complements Weinstein's original framing by bridging '''theoretical insight with tactical application'''.
