I believe many of life's biggest challenges aren't caused by a lack of intelligence or motivation. They're caused by skills we were never taught.
I'm Dr. Michelle Thompson, a psychology professor and the creator of the Playbooks, a collection of psychology-based learning systems designed to help people build the skills to thrive in school, performance, health, and everyday life.
For years, I've coached adults and studied the psychology behind human behavior, performance, and personal growth. That work led me to a simple realization: We spend years teaching people what to do, but very little time teaching them how to understand themselves, navigate challenges, build healthy relationships, and continue growing throughout life.
That's why I created the Playbooks.
