I’m a bit skeptical though, because psychology is in a bad state now, and LW is feeding off the self-help cottage industry which is even worse. Even Kahneman’s work which is central to LW has been hit hard by the replication crisis. I don’t think any of us are equipped to answer why some mind trick works or doesn’t.
I have read 5LL and GPP, as well as I’m okay, you’re okay—also by Eric Berne
5LL was poor Christian filled book, where the core 5 are handy approximations of a good idea. 5 apology languages are rubbish.
GPP was okay and I read it more than ten years ago. Was skeptical of it back then but it also does have a place in a framework of models of other minds.
Ioyo is neat and old psychology from the 70s. Similarly aged psychology but still something of use there. Tying that model together and more starts pointing to good things.
Let me say differently—I think I know why. Will try to find some time to write.
