What I learned from an undergrad education in psychology was: Everything works for some people 100% of the time. In that if you map human psychology down to a binary point (e.g. feeling stressed? shake things up or buckle down), you'll find that for about half the population one generalized choice or the other is going to be perfect and unfortunately you can't know which half you are in, or which half you are dealing with until after the fact usually.
