Why Self-Control Matters and How to Get More of It

The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do To Get More of It
Guest: Kelly McGonigal, author of The Willpower Instinct.
Topic: How self-control works, why it matters, and what you can do to get more of it.
Issues: Willpower is actually three powers: I will power, I won’t power, and I want power; willpower is not an unlimited resource. Too much self-control can actually be bad for your health; willpower is a biological function that can be controlled through mindfulness, better sleep, and even what we eat.
