About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
As you read this summary, you will discover that developing your willpower allows you to have a more satisfying life and encourages the fulfillment of your projects.
You will also discover that :
- willpower is not an abstract notion: the anterior cingulate cortex is the part of the brain involved in self-control. By dint of using willpower to restrain emotions, impulses, thoughts, the brain slows down. It thus becomes more difficult to control oneself;
- everyone has a limited reservoir of willpower;
- the will is carburized by glucose;
- in order to achieve one's goals, it is necessary to be satisfied with only one project to carry out. In fact, aiming at various objectives is ineffective ;
- to possess self-control is to have the capacity to overcome one's individualism: to know how to turn away from oneself improves the will;
- sharing your goals with others is an incentive, especially if they have the opportunity to check on your progress.
The will allows you to replace automatisms by more adequate responses to requests. Learning to improve your self-control ensures that you are protected from desires that hinder success. This means, for example, stopping the exhaustion of fighting against the urge to consume sweets all the time or to watch TV rather than work. It is possible to become more satisfied by practicing self-control. Self-control offers many benefits and provides emotional stability for a happier life.
