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

Great combination of light science, "self-help", and enjoyable reading. The lessons here are so generally applicable that I expect anyone could read this book and come away better equipped to achieve personal goals and avoid temptations. As I face new willpower challenges through the years, I plan to re-read "The Willpower Instinct", to remind myself of my hardwired shortcomings and re-learn the recommended techniques for working around them.
