Yup, so one just reads up on psychology, psychiatry and neurophysiology branching into sociology and anthropology, approximately to a graduate level. After which all this self-help looks quite naive. This sure takes 10-15 years, but the result is that you begin to understand wtf is going on around.

Yes, because the PhDs in those fields famously have their lives all figured out and are extremely happy and successful at everything.

It's your life. To the left there is the tank for those like you. Please jump.

lol, seems like people struck a nerve. I’d assume all your study would have given you more equanimity. Might be time for a self help book.

Academic literature isn't written to be applied. Some of the books I like the most distill the Academic findings into actionable frameworks. I do agree it's a good idea to also look at the research. But also recognize that the research changes as new studies deepen our understanding or invalidate prior findings.

Thank you. You made my point.
