About this book
The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do to Get More of It is a 2012 book by Kelly McGonigal, a health psychologist. It grew out of her course on the science of willpower at Stanford University.
McGonigal explains self-control as a response of mind and body that can be strengthened, not a question of moral character. Using studies and exercises, she describes how sleep, stress, mindfulness and exercise affect willpower, and why people give in to temptation.
