flupwatson 's review for:

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

2.0

I learned a few things I didn't know, but I really hated the writing style. She was trying to be funny and whimsical, but I found it rather annoying. It was also really repetitive and padded with lots of anecdotes and other fluff. The whole book could have easily been compressed to a quarter of the size. If anybody wants to read this, I suggest skimming and reading the chapter summaries.
