My own impression with Alain’s approach to self-taught mental well-being through intellectual pursuit: It isn’t very actionable. I’d rather have a method that works for non-intellectuals too, because it lets me not think. One that says “have a glass of lemon water in the morning.” and not tell you that it has some physical health benefits, but that building morning routine is crucial to starting off right... that way I can detach my intellect and my ego. I still like Alain’s books.
