I read the original article and some of the other PJE material. I think he's really onto something. This is how far I got:

  • Identify the '10% controlling part'

  • Everything else is not under direct control (which is where most self-help methods fail)

  • It is under indirect control

So far makes sense from personal experience/general knowledge.

  • Here are my methods for indirect control.

This is the part that I remain skeptical about . Not PJE's fault, but I do need more data/experience to confirm.
