Willpower: Rediscovering Our Greatest Strength

"Immensely rewarding...filled with ingenious research, wise advice and insightful reflections on the human condition"
New York Times Book Review

Can you resist everything except temptation?

In a hedonistic age full of distractions, it's hard to possess willpower—or even understand why we should need it. Yet, willpower is 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.

What Makes This Book Stand Out?

• Willpower as a muscle: Roy Baumeister, one of the world's most esteemed and influential psychologists, and journalist John Tierney, turn the notion of willpower on its head. They show us that willpower is like a muscle that can be strengthened with practice and improved over time.
• Psychological research: Based on years of psychological studies, this book provides insights backed by science.
• Practical advice: Filled with actionable tips, it teaches you how to gain from self-control without pain.

Discover the very real power in willpower and learn how to transform your life. The results are nothing short of life-changing.
