Quick Thoughts on Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength

Roy F. Baumeister, Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength, John Tierney Penguin Press 2011 (Hardcover) ISBN: =”1594203075”

My Review 3/5

Book is a little over the top with self-references. Middle of the book is a little slow but first few chapters and last few chapters definitely a good read.

Key concepts: eliminate temptation and frame the decision on future self vs past self.
