=== I – A World That Doesn’t Start with Why ===
🧩 '''1 – Assume You Know.''' An inaugural-day vignette that appears to describe John F. Kennedy is revealed—by the date, January 30, 1933—to be Adolf Hitler, showing how confident assumptions skew perception and choices. A Japanese assembly line that designs doors to fit contrasts with American plants that pound them into place with a rubber mallet, modeling the discipline of solving at the source instead of piling on short‑term fixes. ''You have to be careful what you think you know.''
🥕 '''2 – Carrots and Sticks.''' Under “Manipulation vs. Inspiration,” price cuts, rebates, limited‑time promotions, fear appeals, aspirational messages, peer pressure, and novelty are shown to trigger action while inflating costs and eroding trust. Examples range from rebate‑driven buying habits to a proliferation of variants like thirty‑two types of Colgate toothpaste, and to police‑style rewards that work for single transactions but cannot build durable relationships. ''Loyalty is when people are willing to turn down a better product or a better price to continue doing business with you.''
