Solution
The odd sentence out seems to be "It suggests that you should adopt an ancient rhetorical method favored by the likes of Julius Caesar and known as ‘illeism’ – or speaking about yourself in the third person." The other sentences are all related to the topic of self-examination, introspection, and the potential dangers of rumination. This sentence, however, introduces a new concept (illeism) and references a historical figure (Julius Caesar) that is not mentioned or alluded to in any of the other sentences. Therefore, the answer is 2.
