Develop a framework for teaching people (and children) critical thinking, mental discipline and emotional control. The first part is relatively easy, the second, harder and the third, the hardest. How am I going to do that? First, I suppose I need to get to a point in my career and personal life where my finances are good enough that I don't have to decide where I spend my effort based on the income it'll bring me.

This. Waiting for the right moment to start working on your long term plan is, according to me, not a good idea. Instead of taking a giant step after some point of time, consider taking small steps on a regular basis.

I really like your idea, would you like to discuss how are you planning to approach this problem?

Well, recently I find myself approaching every problem of psychology with the starting point: "The human brain is a neural network, therefore..."

I'd like to somehow develop some new techniques based on this (as opposed to all the prevalent ones you find in self-help books). Right now I can't afford the time, but I should be able to make some headway next year. fingers crossed
