Willpower: Regain Your Self-Control and Rediscover Your Willpower Instinct
Willpower - How do they do it?
How do some people come up with an idea and build a successful small business around it while others struggle just to get to work every day? How do top producing sales executives convince themselves to make one more call, go to one more meeting, or get up after a devastating loss and do it all again? Sure they talk about “sticking to it” through the “hard times” but how do they get themselves to grind along before they see the rewards?
No matter how many motivational posters you see, people are simply either born with drive or they aren’t, right?
But what if that’s not the case….
Think about the woman who’s been overweight her whole life and then suddenly loses 150 pounds. Or the smoker who spends 35 years dragging on a cigarette and one day simply stops the habit cold. Think about the businessman who goes through bankruptcy and a slew of devastating failures only to finally rise to the top of the business world.
What if willpower was a muscle - one that you could develop?
What if it could be learned?
This book focuses on a step-by-step process you can use to quickly gain more willpower and effortlessly maintain it in the future.
In simple and concise terms, it lays out how you can easily focus your energy to achieve your goals and improve the quality of your life. You’ll discover the fascinating research that has been done on willpower, why it’s so elusive, and the easiest way to tap into your willpower instinct.
You’ll discover how to:
Strengthen your self-control
Finally stick to that exercise or diet program
Finish that project you always talk about completing (you know the one!)
Set goals that actually get accomplished
Start knocking out your bucket list items, one by one
Make lasting and powerful change in your life
Willpower is like a muscle. It takes time to develop. This book provides the fastest way to start exercising your self-control and take advantage of the momentum that creates in your life.

This short book was only so-so, having already read Baumeister's and McGonigal's much more in-depth books. Basically if you've read those two you can just skip this one, nothing new at all. But if you haven't read the other two, this is a pretty good condensed version of them, just less professional-seeming for some reason. But not bad.

If you are struggling with any kind of goal, this book is chock-full of different strategies to help. Some will surprise you (like instead of willing a desire away, let it sink into your thought processes, observe it, feel it....but you don't necessarily have to ACT on it.) Interesting quote: "The vast majority of dieters not only regain the weight they lost while dieting, but gain more." Hence, the failure of diets.

Good reading!
Good reading!
I highly recommend this book. It makes it so clear how willpower inhabits can dictate our every day activities. The knowledge contained within these pages can literally freeze your life.

Very well written. Found some of the last chapter a bit too "motivational tape"-like, but overall the everyday application of the ideas was well presented with excellent examples.

Great Book
The author was capable of open my eyes, making it possible for me to understand and control my way of thinking and making decisions.
