A\u00a0tremendous\u00a0book on Will Power. Life Changing!<\/p>\n

From Amazon:<\/p>\n

“Based on Stanford University psychologist Kelly McGonigal’s wildly popular course “The Science of Willpower,” The Willpower Instinct is the first book to explain the new science of self-control and how it can be harnessed to improve our health, happiness, and productivity.”<\/p>\n

Informed by the latest research and combining cutting-edge insights from psychology, economics, neuroscience, and medicine, The Willpower Instinct explains exactly what willpower is, how it works, and why it matters. For example, readers will learn:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Willpower is a mind-body response, not a virtue. It is a biological function that can be improved through mindfulness, exercise, nutrition, and sleep.<\/li>\n
  2. Willpower is not an unlimited resource. Too much self-control can actually be bad for your health.<\/li>\n
  3. Temptation and stress hijack the brain’s systems of self-control, but the brain can be trained for greater willpower<\/li>\n
  4. Guilt and shame over your setbacks lead to giving in again, but self-forgiveness and self-compassion boost self-control.<\/li>\n
  5. Giving up control is sometimes the only way to gain self-control.<\/li>\n
  6. Willpower failures are contagious–you can catch the desire to overspend or overeat from your friends\u00ad\u00ad–but you can also catch self-control from the right role models.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
