I'm not sure about "absolutely." I'm often surprised by how much energy I end up spending on not-thinking about things I don't want to face, and consequently how much better my life gets immediately upon giving up that not-thinking, completely independent of the long-term strategic benefits of thinking.

Fair statement. I think it depends a lot on how much evidence has accumulated in favor of the Hard Truth in question.
