Willpower. It's ESSENTIAL to optimizing our lives. In fact, in their *great* book, Willpower, Roy Baumeister (one of the world's leading scientific researchers on self-control) and John Tierney (science writer for the New York Times) tell us that "Improving willpower is the surest way to a better life." In this Note, we'll learn how to eat our way to willpower (seriously), how to exercise our self-control muscles, why "precommitment" is so important and how to win the willpower game with bright lines and a great offense. :)
