HTML: Join an expert in self-control research for six engaging and inspirational lessons that shatter the myths about willpower and replace them with verifiable science that can make the seemingly unattainable finally possible. Packed with eye-opening studies, experiments, and exercises to strengthen your self-control when dealing with money, fitness, personal relationships, and more, this course will have you wondering why you ever doubted yourself. Whether you're looking for new ways to resist temptation, make a strong first impression, or better control your emotions, this is your guide to understandingâ??and masteringâ??what is a frequently misunderstood subject. In clear language, your award-winning professor introduces you to the general theories behind self-control: what it is, how it works, and how you can take steps to improve it. Among the topics you'll investigate: How researchers discovered that delayed gratification can lead to better individual well-being in everything from higher self-worth to less sensitivity to rejection One of the most influential theories about how self-control works - the limited resource model, which argues that self-control relies on limited energy that becomes depleted after use How scientists discovered the link between the prefrontal cortex and aggression, and how people at risk for violent anger show abnormalities in that region of the brain.Alongside groundbreaking scientific findings and research, you'll get personal exercises, activities, and thought experiments you can use to practice strengthening your self-control skills to meet whatever specific goals you want to achieve No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The author/lecturer is incredibly long winded and slow to his points. I had to listen at double speed to keep from losing patience, which is fitting for the subject matter discussed. The lectures spent a great deal of time reviewing experiments to illustrate points about the nature of Self-Control and its place in the brain. This was informative, but doled out in exceedingly greuling terms. The entire series of lectures lasts about three hours. If the author spoke naturally it would have been one hour. (
