"What a liberating book! McGonigal explains the scientific reality
of willpower, exploding the myths most of us believe. Stronger
willpower—based on inspiring facts, not oppressive nonsense—is
finally within everyone's reach."

World-Class Performers From Everybody Else

science to explain the why and strategies for the how, McGonigal
has created a must-read for anyone who wants to change how they
live in both small and big ways."

taken as a whole, this book could be downright life-altering. If
you are trying to lose weight, become more successful at work, rid
yourself of toxic habits...heck, if you're HUMAN, you need to read
this book."
