The Workshop

Most self-improvement advice is folklore.

This wing is the antidote. Everything here is rated for how strongly the evidence actually supports it — including the popular ideas that turn out to be myths, and the famous ones scientists now argue about. No hype, no guarantees, no "one weird trick."

Last reviewed: July 2026
Solid — replicated, dependable. Build on it.
Promising — real, but not settled.
Contested — studies disagree or failed to replicate.
Myth — repeated everywhere, supported by nothing.

You will see these badges throughout this wing. We think you deserve to know how strong the ground is before you stand on it.
