For example, readers will learn:Willpower is a mind-body response, not a virtue. It is a biological function that can be improved through mindfulness, exercise, nutrition, and sleep. Willpower is not an unlimited resource. Too much self-control can actually be bad for your health. Temptation and stress hijack the brain's systems of self-control, but the brain can be trained for greater willpower Guilt and shame over your setbacks lead to giving in again, but self-forgiveness and self-compassion boost self-control. Giving up control is sometimes the only way to gain self-control. Willpower failures are contagious--you can catch the desire to overspend or overeat from your friends--but you can also catch self-control from the right role models. In the groundbreaking tradition of Getting Things Done, The Willpower Instinct combines life-changing prescriptive advice and complementary exercises to help readers with goals ranging from losing weight to more patient parenting, less procrastination, better health, and greater productivity at work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52337724752160,"sku":"USED1583334386","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51Yz_wB8hXL.jpg?v=1789085783","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-willpower-instinct-how-self-control-works-why-it-matters-and-what-you-can-do-to-get-more-of-it-1583334386-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
