Thank you for these epic suggestions!

You said Richard Bandler?

HUGE fan here!

Call me your NLP enthusiast.

I have nearly watched everything he has put out, except for DHE. I really feel he is on the one side and the rest of the deep thinkers on the other...

Amazing that you are going to study with him this year!

I find a lot of self-dev to be really re-hashed and regurgitated circle-jerking ideas that in practice don't really work.

So true. Then again, you already know, people accept them. They want encouragement from external sources. And these self-dev experts are offering just that.

Apt title for them is Temporary Motivators.

I was once very spiritual and somewhat romanticist, now a days I'm very much about science and what is pragmatic [i.e what works].

On the same page here. In fact, even wrote about it recently.

Quite a list you have there. Shall explore all of them soon!

So glad to connect.

Following you! :D
