Willpower

Struggling to make decisions? Renowned psychologist Roy F. Baumeister and New York Times science writer John Tierney have transformed our understanding of self-control, one of the most overlooked human powers. Based on modern research and practical life experiences, this book teaches how to focus your energy, resist temptations, and steer the direction of your life. Baumeister and Tierney show readers how to set realistic goals, monitor progress, and maintain confidence even in the face of setbacks. Combining the latest scientific research with practical wisdom, the book makes it clear that whether your goal is happiness, better health, or financial security, you cannot achieve it until you learn to practice self-control.
