• Resumen

  • Psychologists used to have a convincing explanation for why some days leave people weak in the face of temptation. Willpower is a limited resource that, like the cash they work so hard for, will eventually run out. Use it all up during the day and there'll be none left by dinnertime. This much has been received wisdom in psychology circles for nearly 20 years. Recently, though, that certainty has begun to fade. According to a series of newer findings, their levels of self-control are not so much a budget they have to eke out, but a renewable resource that can be powered up as we go along. Here, Jarrett discusses how people's mindset dictates how they tackle problems in their lives.
