Is anyone else troubled by the fact that these psychological studies, once you've been exposed to them, seem indispensable to everyday life, but you just can't get used to the idea of actually studying them much?

Maybe it's just the clinical or analytical nature of formal psychology that makes it hard to swallow. Perhaps reading the Proverbs or other sage literature dispenses the same helpful advice, but without the clinical self-awareness.

And, aren't psychologists the ultimate sociopaths, distorting the metaphysics or their surroundings?
