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

5.0

---

One of the things I loved most about the book was how it covered the science on how our brain works and why we, as human beings, need instant gratification but how to control it so we don't sabotage our long-term goals. It contains ways to increase self control, that seem like common sense but teach the reader to pause before reacting to an impulse. I will certainly read this book again, but I am already changing how I make decisions.
