I love how KZbin recommends this to me after my lack of self-regulation led me to watch KZbin

This is hilarious! My favorite part is when Cory held Cookie Monster's hands and said "I believe in you". LOL.

In adulthood, you don't only need to put off good things until later. Usually, you have to exclude them all together.

When you are forced to use up your willpower dealing with the constant stream of crap life is throwing at you, it can be hard to say no to that "cookie".

What a fun video! Parents can use this to teach their children self control. Thanks NPR :)

This incredible video uses skills that I have been learning about from CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). As a man with both bipolar and OCD, I found this kind of thinking very helpful. It is particularly about thinking before reacting. Defusion is one of the most helpful skills I have learned from CBT.

Dr Zhivago....is a little dry! That's very funny. In both meanings of the word, Cookie eating the book and the book itself!

Awesome video, NPR! Learned a lot from it as a parent and leader. We’d like to share this video with the leaders in our organization. Thanks for this!

The school counselor showed this to my students during guidance and they absolutely loved it.

I'm with you Cookie Monster: "Why NOT eat cookies?! I loved this video! I'm a grown woman and still love Sesame Street characters! ...maybe they resemble people I still know. Cookie Monster is my favorite along w/Oscar the Grouch! Thank you for this! It made me LOL!
