Shubham Maurya: We all know how willpower required to deal with current modern life temptations.
- I believe whatever strategies discussed by writer is doable and effective. No need to struggle with self Control anymore.
- I recommend this book to every person who are working or struggling with self control or lack of willpower.
My personal experience- Even I'm unable to believe that I have completed this book upto last page. Usually what happens with me is during initial stage of reading I got motivated and dedicated but eventually losing focus and interest which caused I switch another one. Through this book i have broken the pattern.
My all thanks to Baumeister and John Tierney who have shared this precious content with us.

George Rodriguez - My Simple Press: Roy F. Baumeister and John Tierney make mention of two facts in the beginning of "Willpower": One, the two personal
qualities that predict "positive outcomes" in our lives are intelligence and self-control. Two, researchers have
concluded that we spend a quarter of our waking hours resisting desires. This book is meant to improve the first
(self-control) while making the second (resisting desires) easier. They achieve their aim with the use of solid research,
effective story telling and varied examples to drive their points home.
After an early examination of the sense of willpower through time, the authors use interesting studies like the
"marshmallow" and "radish" experiments to show how researchers have attempted to prove brilliant theories that help
us understand where willpower comes from and how to improve it.
They give good, quick advice in recommending that we focus on one project at a time for the simple reason that our
willpower can only go so far and it is better to give all our focus on changing one thing than a multitude. Hence,
their specific instructions to never make New Years Resolutions.

Geoff Puterbaugh: I usually avoid self-help books because they have no basis in anything other than the author's opinions. THIS book is just the opposite. What you have here are the results of literally thousands of professional experiments, and that alone should make the "no-free-will" contingent squirm.
What you can take as gospel, after reading this book, is that you have a "muscle" which acts as your mechanism of self-control, will-power, AND decision-making. Like any muscle, it will collapse when too much strain is placed upon it --- therefore you should not decide to quit smoking, quit drinking, take up a vigorous new exercise regime, and lose a hundred pounds on the same day. Make reasonable plans, monitor yourself, and -- when you reach "ego depletion," for God's sake STOP making decisions. Grab a bite and take a nap; replace your glucose so you are ready for the next challenge.
I was delighted to see the idiotic "self-esteem" movement receive the final nails in its coffin, and a decent burial. We Americans don't need unearned self-esteem: we very much need self-control (or, as Theodore Dalrymple would put it, "self-respect.") There may not be much difference. A teenage girl...
