A child is presented with a marshmallow and given a choice: Eat
this one now, or wait and enjoy two later. What will she do? And
what are the implications for her behaviour later in life? Walter
Mischel's now iconic 'marshmallow test,' one of the most famous
experiments in the history of psychology, proved that the ability
to delay gratification is critical to living a successful and
fulfilling life: self-control not only predicts higher marks in
school, better social and cognitive functioning, and a greater
sense of self-worth; it also helps us manage stress, pursue goals
more effectively, and cope with painful emotions. But is willpower
prewired, or can it be taught? In his groundbreaking new book, Dr.
Mischel draws on decades of compelling research and life examples
to explore the nature of willpower, identifying the cognitive
skills and mental mechanisms that enable it and showing how these
can be applied to challenges in everyday life--from weight control
to quitting smoking, overcoming heartbreak, making major decisions,
and planning for retirement. With profound implications for the
choices we make in parenting, education, public policy and
self-care, The Marshmallow Test will change the way we think about
who we are and what we can be. And since, as Mischel argues, a life
with too much self-control can be as unfulfilling as one with too
little, this book will also teach you when it's time to ring the
bell and enjoy that marshmallow.
