I'm reading the same book, actually, and also got inspired from here. I've studied it a little before, but it seems now is the time for it.
I think it's important to note that, yes, conscious control applied like that can produce quite noticeable state changes quickly. And those can be positive if you're doing it intentionally, but I think a lot of people just have habits where they end up applying similar tactics that actually produce negative outcomes for them. For example, in the book it was mentioned that some people seem to always associate with negative experiences and feel them strongly, but experience positive experiences dissociated. Then an efficient way to make yourself feel bad is to imagine e.g. yourself failing a lot. So the point is, that I think unproductive habits of directing oneself would be a little bit like applying NLP against what the subs are also in general trying to accomplish. Meaning that your conscious efforts would be derailing the sub less after some practice on the topic.
