The headline caught my eye - a topical and important subject at the moment.
Glad to see you have found Jon Tyson or knew him already?
I think the hard thing about dying to self is that we have these ego defaults, that make that very difficult. They are the way we would normally respond in life.
I was listening to someone talk about attachment styles. And how they form.
If you have not looked it up, its worth doing so.
As Avoidant (Dismissive) styles, there is the predisposition to self control and self effort, which as you've highlighted in the post does not work.
And yet we spend so much of our walk with God trying to use those historic skillsets or pattern to get to what we want, even though they are the very things which are preventing us from getting there!
This is why the post has a good title...
Hearing what dying to yourself looks like for you would be interesting...
