“I can resist everything but temptation,” quipped Oscar Wilde. In Willpower, we learn a great deal about this mental trait and how we wield it. Years ago, Roy Baumeister shook up the world of social psychology with his theory that willpower operates like a muscle. In these pages, he and John Tierney explore the details.
Our willpower, the authors explain, is fueled by the natural sugar known as glucose, and it can be bolstered simply by replenishing the brain’s store of fuel. That’s why eating and sleeping—and failing to do either—have such dramatic effects on self-control. The authors demonstrate how to build up willpower—and how to conserve it for crucial moments. Enjoying Willpower is one temptation worth indulging in!
