很多条目听起来像老生常谈,但是都有实验作为backup,当然里面很多实验也引用无数次了,不特别新鲜。但是总体来说,仍然有很多不错的tips,讲的道理还是清晰明了的,非常可读的数。 对付拖延,diet,教育子女(some comments on tiger mom)....听了挺解气的,可能也是验证我自...
评分这是一本集八卦科普与励志于一体的书,每章深入探讨一两个个别案例,之后与大量心理学实验的结果对照讨论,主题是,什么是意志力,人为什么会进化出意志力这么一种力量,意志力在日常生活中起到什么作用,怎样增强或削弱它。 意志力的测量很简单,大多数实验会要求参与者解一...
评分这本书中译本封面的色彩非常艳丽,读起来也轻松有趣。书中谈到意志力涉及到生活的方方面面,学习和工作效率、情感纠葛、抵制上网诱惑、乱花钱、节食减肥、戒烟戒酒、熬夜等,意志力与自身的快乐和幸福息息相关,没有意志力就没有幸福的未来。书中穿插了几百个案例,有的是心理...
评分1. 一本看得无比艰辛的书,这本书描写了N个实验,例子和科学研究,占了全书内容的80%,典型的西方著作,学术背景深厚,词汇量跟不上会读的很苦。如果没耐性,可能直接跳过前面的章节,跳到最后“Conclusion”的章节,最重要的都在最后章节囊括了。 这本大...
评分据说,世间的那些清高之士都是看不起励志类读物的,其实根本用不着清高,三俗屌丝如我,也一度觉得励志类读物是仅仅让人脑子暂时充血的玩物,满纸苦逼的口号,无趣也无益。 但这本书,我觉得有些与众不同,正如引言中所说:如果是幸福是快感的总和,那么获得幸福人生的秘...

One of the world's most esteemed and influential psychologists, Roy F. Baumeister, teams with New York Times science writer John Tierney to reveal the secrets of self-control and how to master it.
In Willpower, the pioneering researcher Roy F. Baumeister collaborates with renowned New York Times science writer John Tierney to revolutionize our understanding of the most coveted human virtue: self-control.
In what became one of the most cited papers in social science literature, Baumeister discovered that willpower actually operates like a muscle: it can be strengthened with practice and fatigued by overuse. Willpower is fueled by glucose, and it can be bolstered simply by replenishing the brain's store of fuel. That's why eating and sleeping- and especially failing to do either of those-have such dramatic effects on self-control (and why dieters have such a hard time resisting temptation).
Baumeister's latest research shows that we typically spend four hours every day resisting temptation. No wonder people around the world rank a lack of self-control as their biggest weakness. Willpower looks to the lives of entrepreneurs, parents, entertainers, and artists-including David Blaine, Eric Clapton, and others-who have flourished by improving their self-control.
The lessons from their stories and psychologists' experiments can help anyone. You learn not only how to build willpower but also how to conserve it for crucial moments by setting the right goals and using the best new techniques for monitoring your progress. Once you master these techniques and establish the right habits, willpower gets easier: you'll need less conscious mental energy to avoid temptation. That's neither magic nor empty self-help sloganeering, but rather a solid path to a better life.
Combining the best of modern social science with practical wisdom, Baumeister and Tierney here share the definitive compendium of modern lessons in willpower. As our society has moved away from the virtues of thrift and self-denial, it often feels helpless because we face more temptations than ever. But we also have more knowledge and better tools for taking control of our lives. However we define happiness-a close- knit family, a satisfying career, financial security-we won't reach it without mastering self-control.
Scientiic research mixed with self-help. 通篇就是把成功理解为自制,一味强调self-control, control for what? 希特勒的军官们因为克制住了对犹太人的怜悯而沾沾自喜。你的焦虑来自不满而不是缺乏自制,按书里的逻辑推理出来,你没有成为杀人犯,酗酒犯,虐待狂,过着一种体面的生活,能看懂这本书,你就已经在自制力上高出普通水平了。那么剩下来的部分,就只能是作为一种理论来吸引人了。

评分科普性质的书,无益于实际
评分The simple but liberating message from this book is that willpower doesn’t necessarily reflect one's virtue or personality. It's a muscle-like psychological state that can be improved by deliberate practice or just some glucose. And, ironically, build behavioral routines to save your precious willpower for the necessary battles against yourself.
评分非常好的一本心理科普读物,尤其适合意志力薄弱引起的各种拖延、混乱、减肥失败等等的人。家长和教育学者必读~~
