Summary:
Is willpower pre-wired, or can it be taught? In THE MARSHMALLOW TEST, renowned psychologist Walter Mischel explains how self-control can be mastered and applied to challenges in everyday life--from weight control to quitting smoking, overcoming heartbreak, making major decisions, and planning for retirement. With profound implications for the choices we make in parenting, education, public policy and self-care, THE MARSHMALLOW TEST will change the way you think about who we are and what we can be.
