Willpower by Roy F. Baumeister - Free Audiobook Summary and Review

One of the world's most esteemed and influential psychologists, Roy F. Baumeister, teams with New York Times science writer John Tierney to reveal the secrets of self-control and how to master it.

Pioneering research psychologist Roy F. Baumeister collaborates with New York Times science writer John Tierney to revolutionize our understanding of the most coveted human virtue: self-control. Drawing on cutting-edge research and the wisdom of real-life experts, Willpower shares lessons on how to focus our strength, resist temptation, and redirect our lives. It shows listeners how to be realistic when setting goals, monitor their progress, and how to keep faith when they falter. By blending practical wisdom with the best of recent research science, Willpower makes it clear that whatever we seek - from happiness to good health to financial security - we won’t reach our goals without first learning to harness self-control.

Very wordy, but very useful.
The writing style reminds me greatly of The Power of Habit in that the vast majority of the book is anecdotal and case study summation. In fact, I could quite easily get literally 100% of the book's usefulness in a 30 minute Ted Talk if done correctly.

So why five stars? I'd give it 4.5 if I could because the wordiness is a bit much, but the message behind the book, the approaches to rectify certain things, etc. are really quite amazing, and an incredibly fresh outlook on things. There are easy changes to make with profound effects and you really just don't get that out of books these days.
