All this is good and fine. But what is the difference with long term
psycho-analysis or other "traditional" -- somewhat looked down upon
methods. Or simple building a "strong character". "ruthless
self­-examination and the deepening of a willingness to bear whatever
it takes to stay true" could be the description of many protagonists
in much literature, drama and film.
