4.0
The first book to explain the new science of self-control and how it can be harnessed to improve our health, happiness, and productivity.
Willpower is a mind-body response, not a virtue. It is a biological function that can be improved through mindfulness, exercise, nutrition, and sleep. People who have better control of their attention, emotions, and actions are healthier, happier, have more satisfying relationships, and make more money. 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, and that the brain can be trained for greater willpower.
This book is immensely valuable, and very much needed by most people...good book, clearly written, good ideas, well executed.
