Professor Roy Baumeister wrote the book on willpower... literally! Professor Baumeister is the author of Willpower: Rediscovering The Greatest Human Strength. He's spent his entire career studying self control, where it comes from, how to control it, and how to improve it. "Willpower" is one of my favorite books and today we dove in deep. We talked about the infamous "Marshmallow Experiment" from Stanford University, as well as Roy's own Radish Cookie experiment, which furthered his hypothesis that willpower is actually a finite resource, like gas in a car. I was particularly interested in hearing his thoughts on how to improve our self control and improve our willpower, and turns out there are several things you can do! Be sure to check out Roy's book on Audible like I did and let me know what other books you'd like me to read down below!
