    Какие-то моменты откликались больше, какие-то забылись, но в целом уже на середине книге понял, что по-другому смотрю на вызовы силы воли. Как минимум, я перестал себя ругать за срывы и полюбил, что ли. И должен сказать, что в таком состоянии жить гораздо приятней и приятней с собой договариваться.

    Прекрасная книга для того, чтобы наконец-то поменять свои взгляды на силу волу и научиться слушать себя. Рекомендую всем, кто хоть раз сдавался в битве с собой, и съедал всю пачку печенья за раз😅

Quotes

  • Teofilo Cisneroshas quoted7 years ago
    Even the best-controlled feel a kind of exhaustion at keeping it all together and wonder if life is supposed to be such a struggle.
  • Nikita Misharinhas quoted9 years ago
    Studies show that the effects of sleep deprivation on your brain are equivalent to being mildly intoxicated—a state that many of us can attest does little for self-control.
  • Nikita Misharinhas quoted9 years ago
    you could do something a lot simpler and less painful: meditate. Neuroscientists have discovered that when you ask the brain to meditate, it gets better not just at meditating, but at a wide range of self-control skills, including attention, focus, stress management, impulse control, and self-awareness.
