Just one word for this book. AMAZING! This is the second book that I bought for my new kindle and I wasn't expecting much to be honest, but I was really surprised.

The book is very well researched and the list of research papers and scientific studies in the bibliography are lengthy. I was very impressed with the coverage of the findings that willpower is a finite resource, and the studies that disagree with that finding. Because the book is new it has a lot more of the newer research in it.

The book gives a really good explanation of the difference between willpower and self-control. There are a lot of simple exercises to allow you to start increasing your willpower.

The price isn't to bad considering the information in it.

I liked the simplicity of the Rubicon Method. Basically it has two phases. Predecision & Postdecision. And these are broken into two parts each. It gives a good simple method to apply to your goals whatever they are. I'm going to attempt a marathon in 2012 and I've been looking for ways to make sure I drag myself out of bed. I'll give this a try and see how it goes.
