Description: Title: The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do to Get More of It Author: McGonigal, Kelly Publisher: Avery Publishing Group Binding: Paperback Pages: 288 Dimensions: 8.99h x 6.47w x 0.79d Product Weight: 0.63 lbs. Language: English ISBN: 9781583335086 Based on Stanford University psychologist Kelly McGonigal's wildly popular course "The Science of Willpower," The Willpower Instinct is the first book to explain the science of self-control and how it can be harnessed to improve our health, happiness, and productivity. Informed by the latest research and combining cutting-edge insights from psychology, economics, neuroscience, and medicine, The Willpower Instinct explains exactly what willpower is, how it works, and why it matters. For example, readers will learn: - Willpower is a mind-body response, not a virtue. It is a biological function that can be improved through mindfulness, exercise, nutrition, and sleep. - Willpower is not an unlimited resource. Too much self-control can actually be bad for your health. - Temptation and stress hijack the brain's systems of self-control, but the brain can be trained for greater willpower - Guilt and shame over your setbacks lead to giving in again, but self-forgiveness and self-compassion boost self-control. - Giving up control is sometimes the only way to gain self-control. - Willpower failures are contagious--you can catch the desire to overspend or overeat from your friends--but you can also catch self-control from the right role models. In the groundbreaking tradition of Getting Things Done, The Willpower Instinct combines life-changing prescriptive advice and complementary exercises to help readers with goals ranging from losing weight to more patient parenting, less procrastination, better health, and greater productivity at work.
