Well, pseudscience can be interesting

Looking up to the left or right is in the domain of neurolinguistic programming.

Its pseudoscience. In fact very recently its been empiricially discredited. A
study by Norcross placed it on a list of potentially discredited interventions.
It got into the top ten out of 90 or so, including the more whacko nonsense of
the 1970s.

Here is an interesting article:

The interesting thing about pseudoscience for the purpose of improving your
brain is that it gives you great examples of things to avoid.

One good reason to avoid neurolinguistic programming is because it makes people
sound manipulative. It also makes them sound like a crank, a flake, or a
charlatan.

Another reason to avoid it is because it contains just about all of the most
misleading ideas in modern self help/new age.

The opposite way would be to look for something which has empirical validity,
concept plausibility, accurate statements about efficacy, and a set of
proponents who don't dismiss science as a matter of habit.

Good old ed psych is a good place to start.
