S.J. Scott

Publishes short practical books on habits and focus at a steady rate, aimed at readers who want a procedure rather than a theory.

Declutter Your Mind covers the mechanics of rumination, with mindfulness, scheduled worry time and value clarification as the tools, and is co-written with Barrie Davenport.

Scott is a self-published author rather than a researcher, and the books restate established cognitive behavioural and habit material in compressed form. Useful as a checklist, thin as an explanation of why any of it works.
