Thanks to Anki—which I was pointed toward repeatedly by LW and after some time got around to use regularly—I can provide some answers quickly just by looking thru the cards with URLs in my Charisma and Appearance deck:
The Charisma Myth by Olivia Fox Cabane
Wisemans 59 seconds
http://lesswrong.com/lw/jsp/political_skills_which_increase_income/
imaginary expertise
There were lots of other references that did improve my life in the last two years. Some of those:
Relationships/Parenting
Kazdin (post by me but pointed to by tadamsmar).
lukeprogs http://lesswrong.com/lw/63i/rational_romantic_relationships_part_1/
MMSL
Self-Improvement/Other
Seligman’s What You Can Change and What You Can’t (found probably via one of gwerns bibliographies)
Lifestyle interventions to increase longevity
Procrastination equation
The golden rule of habit change
steps of rapid skill acquisition
Peak-End-Rule
The Ten Laws of Shaping
breathing techniques
Sleep advice
But to a large degree LW also helped by providing a place to think clearly about these topics.
What breathing techniques do you use?
Square breathing. see e.g. here. I did read about it first in On Combat and it works well to reduce pulse levels.
Breathing meditation from Vipassana, see e.g. here.
Consciously breathing thru the nose and diaphragmatic breathing
PS. How did you find this old post?
