The Marshmallow Test Audiobook (Free)

A child is offered a marshmallow and provided a choice: Eat that one now, or wait and revel in two later. What will she do? And what exactly are the implications for her behavior later in lifestyle? Walter Mischel’s right now iconic Marshmallow Test proved that the ability to hold off gratification is critical to living an effective and fulfilling lifestyle: self-control not merely predicts higher SAT ratings, better social and cognitive working, and a larger feeling of self-worth but also assists us manage stress, go after about The Marshmallow Test goals better, and manage with painful emotions. But can be willpower prewired, or can it be trained? In his groundbreaking new audiobook, Dr. Mischel draws on decades of compelling research and life illustrations to explore the nature of willpower, determining the cognitive abilities and mental systems that enable it and displaying how these can be applied to difficulties in everyday life-from managing weight to stopping smoking, overcoming heartbreak, making major decisions, and planning for retirement. With deep implications for the choices we make in parenting, education, public policy, and self-care, The Marshmallow Check will change the way we consider who we are and what we are able to be. “This marvelous book is exclusive, and beautifully written from starting to end. The number that Walter Mischel covers-from creative cognitive technology to neuroscience to genetics-is breathtaking.” -Eric R.
