I love this book. The psychology major in me loved all of the studies. Personally, this was very eye-opening and I'm trying to implement what I've learned. Even just the knowledge it gave is helpful. For instance, knowing that feeling bad means less willpower and what really makes us feel better are a great things to remember.

My only possibly negative thing to say is that some of what's in this book is contradictory. However, I wouldn't expect anything different as humans and willpower are complex subjects. This is a book I would love to own and highlight the heck out of.

Oh, one more negative, actually. I listened to this book and I would have preferred it to be narrated by a female since it was written by one. Talking to my husband was a little confusing as I sometimes accidentally referred to the author as male. Also, there was some swearing in this book that was light. It really wouldn't have been a problem but I listened to it around my young kids. I just crossed my fingers that they weren't listening.

5 Stars.
