I tried it for a couple of weeks and found that it's most useful to me in social situations for communicating in "hazardous situations" e.g. talking to a stranger at a party, or holding an unpleasant conversation while still being empathetic.

I didn't really try it for general hard-things-to-do since I have different mental tools for those.
