Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength

Want to be happy—train your willpower. It is, according to the authors of this book, the foundation of our healthy self-esteem, confidence in ourselves, and good relationships with loved ones. Think you were not given it? Willpower and self-discipline are not among your talents? Baumайстер and Tirney offer a simple system of self-improvement that does not require superhuman effort. On the contrary, the authors share a whole set of ways to “outsmart” yourself and, little by little, day by day, make willpower and self-control a natural part of everyday life.
