One of the world's most esteemed and influential psychologists, Roy F. Baumeister, teams with New York Times science writer John Tierney to reveal the secrets of self-control and how to master it.

"Deep and provocative analysis of people's battle with temptation and masterful insights into understanding willpower: why we have it, why we don't, and how to build it. A terrific read." —Ravi Dhar, Yale School of Management, Director of Center for Customer Insights

Pioneering research psychologist Roy F. Baumeister collaborates with New York Times science writer John Tierney to revolutionize our understanding of the most coveted human virtue: self-control. Drawing on cutting-edge research and the wisdom of real-life experts, Willpower shares lessons on how to focus our strength, resist temptation, and redirect our lives. It shows readers how to be realistic when setting goals, monitor their progress, and how to keep faith when they falter. By blending practical wisdom with the best of recent research science, Willpower makes it clear that whatever we seek—from happiness to good health to financial security—we won’t reach our goals without first learning to harness self-control.

A case most brilliantly made for the trait that most impacts our wellbeing and a roadmap to strengthen it in kids who lack it due to simple genetic misfortune. Will read again and again.

The book is a concrete presentation about what and how to manage your life for success. Each chapter describes an aspect of life and strategies to improve it. By the end of the book is a nice summary of it which I strongly advise to take note of. Second best personal improvement book I ever read.

Making bold statements as if they are 100% sure if what they are saying, but they are many flaws in their thesis.
