I very much agree. I am reading his post on cognitive therapy now, as it sounded interesting, but I wonder if he could describe some of what he has done to survive/heal this particular pattern. I'm curious about the cognitive habits behind making yourself stick with something until it effects you. Simply telling yourself it's stupid to be so superficial is not as effective as some people might believe.

- npsimons 14y ago"Feeling Good" by David D. Burns is a good resource. Lots of activities with writing things down. Reading this now for the reasons "prescribed" on the cover, but I have discovered that (at least) half of the the self-help and productivity tips that show up here (or lifehacker), are already in this book. Don't let the title fool you; it's not as touchy feely as it sounds (okay, maybe it is in its examples, but the solutions are all along rational lines - see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_emotive_behavior_therapy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_emotive_behavior_thera... and "A New Guide to Rational Living").
- nollidge 14y agoYeah, it's got a really self-helpy title & cover, but it's actually pretty methodical and rigorous.
