"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.

Bewertet in den USA am21. August 2014This book is not what one would or might imagine. It's not a traditional self-help book that'll get you no where and hardly ever work. This one is filled with simple and many studies that can be very surprising and very easy to understand. Surprisingly enough, glucose depletion severely lowers our ability to exercise self-control. A studied and true, and for me, new concept.
A main premise of this book is why and how self-control, self-regulation or monitoring can be learned. That virtually anything from deciding where to eat, what movie to watch, or even which road to take depletes our willpower. Considering that we start the day with a certain amount of willpower, each little decision or even deciding not to decide, depletes energy and thus willpower. worldwide studies have been conducted on all these concepts. Many results surprised the researchers. Many old but tried and true adages have been shown to work. A good breakfast is really the most important meal of the day! It's true. It's been studied, tested and has been found to work. Starting with a full tank of glucose is critical and more important, easy.
Once started on self-control, in any area, eventually will become a habit. No more decisions to make on that one. Self-control, having been created in one aspect of life tends to generalize across others. Habits finally enable us to dispense with most decision making, lowering stress, expending less effort, reserving more willpower for those more critical decisions that we encounter less frequently.
I've a MS in psychology, and what I've learned from this book amazes me! This, to me, is a must read and we'll worth the small cost. I'll be reading it again. I'm hoping you'll give it an earnest try. You won't be disappointed.

Bewertet in den USA am15. September 2011"However you define success - a happy family, good friends, a satisfying career, robust health, financial security, the freedom to pursue your passions - it tends to be accompanied by a couple of qualities. When psychologists isolate the personal qualities that predict "positive outcomes" in life, they consistently find two traits: intelligence and self-control. So far researchers still haven't learned how to permanently increase intelligence. But they have discovered, or at least rediscovered, how to improve self-control. Hence this book."
"The first step in self-control is to set a goal, so we should tell you ours for this book. We hope to combine the best of modern social science with some of the practical wisdom of the Victorians. We want to tell how willpower - or the lack thereof - has affected the lives of the great and the not-so-great. We'll explain why corporate leaders pay $20,000 a day to learn the secrets of the to-do list from a former karate instructor, and why Silicon Valley's entrepreneurs are creating digital tools to promote nineteenth-century values. We'll see how a British nanny tamed a team of howling triplets in Missouri, and how performers like Amanda Palmer, Drew Carey, Eric Clapton, and Oprah Winfrey applied willpower in their own lives. We'll look at how David Blaine fasted for forty-four days and how the explorer Henry Morton Stanley survived for years in the African wilderness. We want to tell the story of scientists' rediscovery of self-control and its implications outside the laboratory."
Now, I hope these two quotes from the Introduction give a sense of what this book is about - it's one-half psychology and one-half self-help. It's a great read and I would think everyone would have something to gain because the subject matter is universally applicable - learning tricks to strengthen our willpower and recognizing the warning signs that our willpower is being exhausted. Here are some other practical quotes: "Ego depletion thus creates a double whammy: Your willpower is diminished and your cravings feel stronger than ever." "What stress really does, though, is deplete willpower, which diminishes your ability to control those emotions." "You could sum up a large new body of research literature with a simple rule: The best way to reduce stress in your life is to stop screwing up. That means setting up your life so that you have a realistic chance to succeed. Successful people don't use their willpower as a last-ditch defense to stop themselves from disaster, at least not as a regular strategy...people with strong self-control spent less time resisting desires than other people did."
In sum, this is a very helpful book. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the psychology of human motivation, or someone looking for a practical self-help book. I would say that either Peck's book, The Road Less Traveled, 25th Anniversary Edition : A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth, or Ellis's book, A New Guide to Rational Living, would make a fine follow-up of to this book.

Well worth a read about a subject which may superficially appear dull. Lots of interesting advice about strategies to increase motivation etc while making the point that willpower is not a limitless resource.

Shubham MauryaBewertet in Indien am 22. Mai 20225,0 von 5 Sternen Genuine Self Help Book
We all know how willpower required to deal with current modern life temptations.
- I believe whatever strategies discussed by writer is doable and effective. No need to struggle with self Control anymore.
- I recommend this book to every person who are working or struggling with self control or lack of willpower.
My personal experience- Even I'm unable to believe that I have completed this book upto last page. Usually what happens with me is during initial stage of reading I got motivated and dedicated but eventually losing focus and interest which caused I switch another one. Through this book i have broken the pattern.
My all thanks to Baumeister and John Tierney who have shared this precious content with us.
