Jacob Westlin’s book, "Tapping Into Your Willpower: The Art of Manipulating Mental Energy Towards Reaching Your Goals, Chasing your Dreams and Resisting Temptation" was a very enlightening book for me. I found his book to be motivating and dynamic. He gave me a whole new perspective on what willpower is and how I can improve mine by changing my attitude and adjusting my views. I especially liked this definition of willpower: “(Willpower) is the ability to resist short term temptations in order to meet long-term goals.” How many of us have had long-term plans for our futures dashed by giving into something fleeting? It could have been something as simple as a chocolate cake when your goal is to lose weight. I can definitely relate to that. I also understand Westlin’s reasoning behind viewing willpower as saying yes to the right things. We all need more positivity into our lives. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has issues concerning willpower and self-esteem.
