The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do to Get More of It by Kelly McGonigal

4.0

A very intriguing book, with lot's of interesting studies discussed and very practical methods for using will power effectively to live a better life. The topic and material was very good, but the reason it doesn't get five star is just the writing style. The way it was written was meant to be conversational and accessible, which no doubt it was, but it came out a little bit cringe-worthy at times, just ti me at least. I would and have recommended this book to people, because the advice in here isn't home spun, it's scientifically rooted and really worth taking on board to live a more fulfilling life.
