Top Ten Ways to Gain Willpower
So many people can't motivate themselves to do what they know they should. My PsychologyToday.com article today offers my top ten ways to gain willpower. Might one or more help you?
I have deep concerns about all the candidates, which reflect the obscene process it requires to get elected. I have written about the need to reinvent that: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/how-do-life/201602/reinventing-how-we-select-our-political-leaders. I've also grown very worried about the size and influence of government, and the size of debt. But I can have little influence over that. Despite fairly prodigious efforts, my august colleagues and I can't even begin to move the needle regarding what I believe is the acceleratingly unfair treatment of men so I've ever more limited my efforts to less important but more malleable things: how-to advice.
