Thanks for the connection! If I remember correctly, I used the driving example because it was in Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow, and likely he took it from elsewhere as well. Good and clear example to use.
BTW, if you have any links to the Landmark Forum "Story" example, please share them, it would be useful for me, and I imagine for others as well.
The Landmark Forum is done in-person. They rather make a point to not doing their stuff in other media to avoid IP headaches, since they're explicitly for-profit, not mainly in it to raise the sanity waterline (though I expect they would like that too).
Other examples of story are, say, dealing with rejection (for a job, for a role, romantically, even simply declining to join an event) by remembering that it was probably due to contingent local factors and even if it wasn't it probably isn't personal... avoiding Learned Helplessness... basically getting to be more comfortable with not knowing rather than making something up, especially unpleasant things.
Story wasn't usually applied to taking off the rose-colored glasses, though it could be.
Heh. I remember they had lots of people saying they were a cult for equally stupid reasons, but the accusations were even more hyperbolic than the accusations LW has received. Not a single one of them applied to anything I experienced there.
Thanks for sharing those ideas! I'll put the examples you suggested of the Story into the pool of content that we use at Intentional Insights to write the blog posts, much appreciated!
I'm not aware of LW being called a cult, sad to learn that there are some people who do that. Oh well, such is life.
