I want to agree with you for two reasons:
  1. I was raised in the mindset that hard work will get you there. Just put your head down and grind. This proved to not be a particularly successful way of going about my 20s. So I agree: just teaching effort isn't enough.
  2. I really like living life by feel. I'm not prone to over thinking things, but do have a pretty strong belief in my gut instincts.
However: Stephenson makes a good point about self-reliance. It works better when you have skills abd wisdom. My question is: can self-reliance (trusting in the force) get you to a good place alone?

Life is effortless unless we obstruct our intuition.
You need to turn off the bullshit thoughts and beliefs that obscure your intuition.
That requires "mind training" to erase all the obstructions you have put in your mind.
You can tell you are on the wrong path if you feel yourself "exerting effort".
