This is mindfulness, but also classic NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming).

Your feelings are tiny and you can control them and use beneficial ones. This in essence is NLP strategy.

I like NLP and had excellent results with it, so it helps me think in these terms.

If you control your feelings, what's supposed to direct your control over your feelings?

I think he explained quite in great detail in video. I really enjoyed seeing how other developers cope.

There are a lot, and NLP us used a lot to describe things that doesn't have anything with it. Self help took it like quantum entanglement and ran with it. So beware of that.

Founder is Richard Bandler and John Grinder, first one is your best source (he rants a lot and often tells same stories). I like approach of Robert Dilts a lot (just giving you keywords got google).

I read a book about it long ago and helped me greatly. I quit smoking, turn my life around. Essentially explains you how you can run your brain.

Here is one of the recent discussions with Bandler. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfTNV6kDAYg

Hope this helps.

Bandler and Grinder were charlatans. Maybe Satir was serious, back in the day, but Bandler and Grinder didn't believe their own teachings in the end. Steer clear of NLP.

OK, so you clearly believe they are no longer charlatans :). So they should be good resource then.
