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

This book has 10 chapters and each with a different powerful insight about your mind. It helps you understand your mind better and leads you to understand why you behave the way you do. This book is going to give you insights about self-control, self-indulgence, addictions etc. There were several aha moments when I read few theories which will look so counter-intuitive until author leads to scientific research explaining her points in detail. The best part about author is that she has not used a preachy or judgemental tone and used a workbook kind of style which let readers process the learnings which could be applied in their personal life. Should be read by anyone who is open to understanding their behaviour and willing to work to improve the same.
