I read this around three years ago and had a big impact on me. It was sort of the scientific backing behind me trusting myself and doing introspective work.

So far, after three years of lots of largely experimental stuff, anecdotally this is the best framework for belief updating (or just life-living). Memory reconsolidation isn’t something to be always aware of but when you need to change something, it’s a much better understanding of reconfiguring the brain than... pretty much any other garbage out there?
