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. The results are nothing short of life-changing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46505800171756,"sku":"9780141049489","price":24.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/5296873482238.jpg?v=1748681376","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/willpower-by-john-tierney-9780141049489","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
