I know you're a big fan of MMSLP, and although it seems promising, I have never seen it help in a DB situation. I think any time you are not being true to yourself, and instead putting on an act to get some desired result, it's bound to backfire...
I never took MMSLP as "putting on an act", but more of a self-realization and self-improvement book. Which is actually why I considered it to be very DB-friendly.
Just my $0.02 on that snippet of what you said.
