Becoming a cognitive warrior is a way to face magical thinking and designing a new self-image.
In the 80’s, bibliotherapy became a new way to practice ‘good work’.
Prior to that, thousands of years earlier, hard won battles with the mind won favor.
Today, we know we are what we think, believe and act upon.
So, to learn what we can control about ourselves is a ‘good work’ or skill that we can practice to live a more contented life.
To meet with minds that know how to teach this tool, check out David D. Burns and the old philosopher, Epictetus.
Of course the simplest and best way to meet these two are through bibliotherapy, or what most people call book learning or putting things into practice that you read and believe in the book.
Good luck.
