Much of the workshop material was aimed at helping people reach a greater harmony between their System 1 and their verbal, logical System 2. Many of people’s motivational troubles come from the goals of their two systems being somehow at odds with each other, and we were taught to have our two systems have a better dialogue with each other, harmonizing their desires and making it easier for information to cross from one system to the other and back.

Note that this sort of stuff has been talked about at length early in LW's history. A good search term to bring up these discussions is "perceptual control theory". Worth stating, because it's not in EY's Sequences or anything like that, so the newer folks here may be unaware of it.
