If you're interested in something like this, but something that seems a lot more "applicable", try to do sentence completions according to this book. It's one of the best books I have ever read, and I don't say that lightly. Every person I recommend it to instantly is blown away.

He talks about sentence completions in there. I've been doing them and just a few days of doing them I've already made major changes that I haven't been able to make with "just" mind and willpower. It's like it somehow digs up stuff out of your subconscious and lets it go.



I agree that's an excellent book, and that his sentence completion exercises are helpful. I would caution against thinking they're some kind of magical thing; they help, that's all, there's still lots of work a person needs to do. In any case, anyone who's interested can start out by reading the same exercises on his website (which is still there even though Branden died several years ago):
