In a hedonistic age full of distractions, it's hard to possess willpower—or in fact even understand why we should need it. Yet it's actually the most important factor in achieving success and a happy life, shown to be more significant than money, looks, background or intelligence. This book reveals the secrets of self-control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere, Roy Baumeister, one of the world's most esteemed and influential psychologists, and journalist John Tierney, turn this notion on its head. They show us that willpower is like a muscle that can be strengthened with practice and improved over time. The latest laboratory work shows that self-control has a physical basis to it and is dramatically affected by simple things such as eating and sleeping—to the extent that a life-changing decision may go in different directions depending on whether it's made before or after lunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBased on years of psychological research and filled with practical advice, \u003cem\u003eWillpower\u003c\/em\u003e will teach you how to gain from self-control without pain and discover the very real power in willpower.

As John Tierney and Roy F. Baumeister show, we are wired to react to bad over good. It makes sense in evolutionary terms, but in our modern world, the lure of bad is, well, bad. It governs people's moods, drives marketing, and dominates our news. It can explain everything from why wars start or couples divorce to why we mess up job interviews or feud with neighbours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut there is good news. By using smart strategies from new science, we can train our brains to get better at spotting our own negativity bias and even using its power for positive results. Properly understood, bad can end up being a force for good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46555691942124,"sku":"9780141975801","price":24.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/14559993482238.jpg?v=1750110858"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/john-tierney.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
