{"product_id":"kelly-mcgonigal-phd-the-willpower-instinct-9781583335086","title":"The Willpower Instinct","description":"Based on Stanford University psychologist Kelly McGonigal's wildly popular course \"The Science of Willpower,\" The Willpower Instinct is the first book to explain the science of self-control and how it can be harnessed to improve our health, happiness, and productivity. Informed by the latest research and combining cutting-edge insights from psychology, economics, neuroscience, and medicine, The Willpower Instinct explains exactly what willpower is, how it works, and why it matters. 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.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53460180140374,"sku":"9781583335086-V","price":10.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53598007755094,"sku":"9781583335086-G","price":9.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781583335086_1.jpg?v=1778816469","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/kelly-mcgonigal-phd-the-willpower-instinct-9781583335086","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
