What lies in our power to do,
it lies in our power no to do."
- Aristotle
"Self-control is a key factor in achieving success.
We can't control everything in life,
but we can definitely control ourselves.
- Jan McKingley Hilado
If you want to learn about self-control and how to master it, I have the perfect book for you.....
The Marshmallow Test......written by Walter Mischel.
A child is presented with a marshmallow, eat this one now or enjoy two later. What will she/he do? And what are the implications for his/her behavior later in life?
The ability to delay gratification is critical for success in life.
Is willpower prewired or can it be taught?
In this book Walter Mischel explains how self-control can be mastered and applied to any challenge that we are facing in our lives, from breaking bad habits like smoking, overeating or overspending to overcoming heartbreak, making major decisions and to planning for our retirement.
This book will make you think about who you are and what you can be.
If you were presented with one marshmallow and told that you could eat this one now or wait and you can have two later.....
What would you do???
