     In my positive psychology class, I have student mentors who help lead small groups. One of the challenges I give each mentor is to create a "prospiracy" for someone in their group who could use a boost. You're familiar with conspiracies, which are organized, secret commitments to do wrong. A prospiracy keeps the organized secrecy part but swaps evil for good.
