Strength of will. Take your life under control

What is this book about

Lack of willpower is the main social pathology of our days, the authors of this book believe. Shopogolism, procrastination, low self -esteem, chronic depression, conflicts with loved ones - a lack of self -control is found behind most such problems. And on the contrary, it is precisely the ability to control itself that underlies almost all the stories of success.

Understanding this, two brilliant mind, Roy F. Baumister and John Tirnie, offer readers a simple system of self -education. It is infinitely realistic and based on the physiological characteristics of the human body. So, for example, the authors link manifestations of willpower with what decisions had to be made the day before, with the content of glucose in the blood, with hormonal processes in the body. The approach of Baumister and Tyrny is a rare case when the problem is proposed to be solved not on the forehead, but using bypass, often much shorter than the main path.
