The things that increase people's mental well-being are well researched and often obvious: lose weight, find a church, get a girlfriend, make more money, call your mom, join the Army.
Hilarious to imagine a ton of highly-trained psychologists complaining together about how the data shows that all they really need to do is tell people to go to church and join the Army, but they can't because of the rules of their professional associations.
- legitster 3y agoI mean, does that not describe much of the schtick of Joran Peterson, et al?
- plagiarist 3y agoI don't really follow here. Is Jordan Peterson one of the sources claiming the real solution is church, army, etc., and that therapists aren't allowed to say so?
