I thought I would find this book interesting but it was so much better and more readable than even I expected. Based on well researched current science the author make the point that willpower has a strong physical basis and that it can be strengthened like a muscle with practice but also fatigued by overuse. The notion that willpower can be strengthened by the most obvious things - sleeping enough, eating right, having realistic, manageable goals rather than overloaded, grandiose expectations - is fascinating. Perhaps common sense but something that few people understand apparently. I can't recommend this highly enough. Fascinating, interesting and encouraging.
