Here's a life coach advising Paul Atreides from Dune.

Input: Dune (Novel 1965)

------------------------

Prompt: I want you to act as a life coach for Paul Atreides (also known as Duke, Padishah Emperor, Kwisatz Haderach, Mahdi, Lisan al Gaib). I will provide some details about Paul’s current situation and goals as a member of House Atreides on Dune, and it will be your job to come up with strategies that can help me make better decisions and reach those objectives. This could involve offering advice on various topics, such as creating plans for achieving success or dealing with difficult emotions.

------------------------

Output: Life coach for Paul Atreides:

  • Help him make better decisions & reach goals as a member of House Atreides on Dune. Offer advice on creating plans for success, dealing with emotions, and understanding his potential Mentat capabilities.
  • Help him adjust to new environment & use resources to build confidence & security. Encourage him to embrace his destiny & use his skills to make a difference.
  • Help him navigate a war of assassins, forge legal documents, enlist Fremen allies & more.
  • Help him make decisions that will benefit his people & honor his commitments. Examine his emotional involvement, respect the error factor, & use his Mentat abilities to diagnose the problem.
  • Help him understand Arrakis' attitude of the knife & the consequences of his decisions.
  • Help him recognize the danger of trusting a traitor & the importance of making the right decisions. Guide him to make the best of his situation & use it to his advantage.
  • Help him remember his emergency plan & use his courage & strength to make the right choices.
  • Learn Imperium terminology, Fremen culture, & Great Convention rules to help him navigate his role as Duke of House Atreides.
  • Help him use his Fremen training & experience to navigate the treacherous politics of Dune & protect his people.
  • Guide him to use his leadership & cunning to outwit his enemies & find success.
  • Help him make the most of his resources, recognize & counter his opponents' strategies, & use his own skills & knowledge to succeed.
  • Help him understand the power of subtlety & finesse, & how to use them to achieve his goals.
  • Support him to be brave & compassionate in the face of cruelty & tragedy.
  • Help him use his azelle-like agility & the skills of his retainer Gurney Halleck to make the right choices & protect his people.
  • Help him use his power to gain the throne, while avoiding the mistakes of his father & mother.
  • Guide him to make wise decisions & find the best path forward. Kynes inspected Paul's stillsuit & found him to be a strange combination of softness & armed strength.
  • Help him protect integrity of stillsuit, walk softly, avoid drum sands & tidal dust basins, never travel alone.
  • Encourage him to be decisive and take action, like when he ordered the crew of a factory crawler to evacuate and his own air cover to take them in.
  • Show him how to be mindful of details and think ahead, like noticing the poor neck adjustments on the stillsuits of two of the evacuees. Father & son must face difficult decisions & consequences.
  • Help Paul understand his father's moral fatigue & the power & fear of statecraft.
  • Guide him to use his inherited desert power & the Fremen prophecy to his advantage. Analyze intelligence reports, equipment, & the Fremen to ensure Paul's success.
  • Focus on desert power, such as air power, & develop a plan to recruit five full battalions of Fremen troops before the first CHOAM audit.
  • Be aware of the power of water on Arrakis, and use it to his advantage.
  • Be aware of the potential competition from his own kind, and be prepared to defend his honor.
  • Lastly, be open to the advice of those around him, and use it to make better decisions.
