GOOD BOOK BUT ANNOYED WITH CELEBRITY CASES

January 25, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The book contains alot of interesting research which readers will be able to use to improve willpower in their own lives. However, I sometimes had the impression that the author wanted to sensationalize the research by using celebrity examples. Examples are normally used to help the reader understand certain theories or principles but I think the celebrity examples were overdone. This I found annoying but overall I still enjoyed the book and I would recommend to anyone who wishes to have a better understanding of willpower. This book would also be useful for parents who have children who have trouble staying focused.

This book is incredibly helpful into understanding human willpower and bettering ones self in every aspect of ones life. The book is well written, interesting, entertaining and informative at the same time. I would highly recommend this book. The look of the book is also quite sleak, though after time the cover can have some visible fingerprints on them, though they wipe off pretty well if you're concerned.

Great insights but last chapter was disappointing.

April 6, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Some principles about willpower and how it can help one's life are presented along with easy-to-understand research evidence. They are also tied in with real-life examples which I also found helpful.

What I didn't find so helpful was the last chapter. I felt the author could have done a better job in how one could go about applying these principles.

All in all though, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who are looking to improve their life and productivity.

Not the easiest read. I had to get used to the writing style but once I did, I really appreciated the content! I love the premise and will most certainly be putting the information to use!

Will power; how to save and how to spend it.

January 3, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is the most interesting psychology book I have read in 10 years. It is a blend of anecdotal observations from high profile individuals and controlled observations from the experimental psychology laboratory. It is easy to read but nevertheless contains fully documented sources enough to satisfy the skeptical reader. An original collection of hypotheses about decision making and the ability to resist temptation.

There were some good learnings and antidotes in this book however I felt it was the same issues continually being rehashed.

I read this based on a recommendation from a blog, looking for an accessible book for practical evidence based strategies to develop willpower. Simply put, this book is just that.

If you like to read awesome new stuff....

Then this is the book for you. The authors do an awesome job of helping bring attention and intrigue to a subject that could be considered boring and uninteresting. One of my favourite reads this year.

Interesting - but not as tactical as I had hoped

Tierney & Baumeister do a good job on WillPower. It is definitely a very interesting read. There are various good empirical observations drawn from scientific psychology research.Read more
