具体描述
Can you resist everything except temptation? 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. Here 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 so 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. Based on years of psychological research and filled with practical advice, this book 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.

1. 一本看得无比艰辛的书,这本书描写了N个实验,例子和科学研究,占了全书内容的80%,典型的西方著作,学术背景深厚,词汇量跟不上会读的很苦。如果没耐性,可能直接跳过前面的章节,跳到最后“Conclusion”的章节,最重要的都在最后章节囊括了。 这本大...
很多条目听起来像老生常谈,但是都有实验作为backup,当然里面很多实验也引用无数次了,不特别新鲜。但是总体来说,仍然有很多不错的tips,讲的道理还是清晰明了的,非常可读的数。 对付拖延,diet,教育子女(some comments on tiger mom)....听了挺解气的,可能也是验证我自...
