Are we developing a new art of akrasia-fighting, or is this just repackaged garden-variety self-help?
Edit: I don't mean to disparage anyone's efforts to improve themselves. (My only objection to the field of "self-help" is that it's dominated by charlatans.) But there is an existing body of science here, and I fear that if we go down this road the Art of Rationality will turn into nothing more than amateur behavioral psychology.
This was more along the lines of "a kick in the pants" plus anecdotal evidence gathering. Advancement and usage should happen together, for obvious reasons.
