Optimize Your Willpower: Book Insight on The Willpower Instinct by Kelly McGonigal

* Several years ago, Kelly McGonigal began teaching a popular course at Stanford University on the science of willpower. 

* Her students began reporting the life-changing impacts her course had on them. When they understood the science of willpower and practiced the methods she advised, they overcame bad habits, stuck to exercise programs, even kept better bank balances. 

* Over the years she refined the methods, streamlining the most effective practices through further student interaction. 

* The Willpower Instinct combines both the science and methods of this refined curriculum. 

* McGonigal shows you how you to unlock your natural capacity for self-control to achieve your goals, and it’s all backed by science.
