Meaning what, Mystic? That it's good advice because it's psychological? What does that even mean. All advice is in some sense psychological, does that make all advicew good advice? What do you mean by psychological? That it appeals to things other than reason and logic? If it does, then it is most likely bad advice.
It is paraphrased by the Prophet to Abu Dhar and paraphrased by me,
"if you have a treasure with you and people think it's garbage, then you still have a treasure with you. And if you garbage with you and people think it's treasure, then you still have garbage with you. "
I forget the exact words, was part of a long advice to Abu Dhar, but that was gist of it. He probably said it more eloquently, I will scavenge the quote later!
