Overview
Kelly McGonigal explains the science of willpower—what depletes it and what strengthens it. The book is based on her popular Stanford course.
Our take
More practical than most willpower books. Each chapter has exercises to try. The insight that willpower is like a muscle you can train is both encouraging and actionable.
