About the author

Roy Baumeister

Willpower argued that self-control runs on a finite resource that depletes with use and is partly restored by glucose, an idea called ego depletion that dominated social psychology for two decades. Large replication attempts have since failed to reproduce the effect, and the glucose element in particular is now widely regarded as unsupported.
