Before you can improve your self or your life, you apparently have to know how to think...
I had to analyze analysis in order to be able to research self help as a subject and 1) prove that it worked or not, 2) see if there was an underlying system which enabled its efficacy where it did.
More specifically, you have to know how to analyze the world around you.
And you're in luck - I was able to simplify analysis so anyone could understand and use it to improve the quality of their own life...
