Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength

Leading social psychologist and scientist Roy F. BaumeisterΓÇÖs latest research reveals that the average person spends four hours of their day battling temptation. While self-control is biologically rooted, we have the capacity to manipulate our nature. Willpower works like a muscle that can be strengthened with practice, and fatigued with overuse. Combining the best of modern social science with practical wisdom, Baumeister and Tierney revolutionize our understanding of self-control.
