Baumeister, teams with New York Times science writer John Tierney to reveal the secrets of self-control and how to master it. "Deep and provocative analysis of people's battle with temptation and masterful insights into understanding willpower: why we have it, why we don't, and how to build it. A terrific read." -- Ravi Dhar, Yale School of Management, Director of Center for Customer Insights 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 readers 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.

La principale leçon à en tirer est que notre volonté doit se gérer et se préserver comme une ressource rare. Nous en avons un stock limité, qui s'émousse au fil de la journée, et plus particulièrement dans des phases d'hypoglycémie. Ainsi, si nous passons le début de matinée à faire beaucoup de choix, même simples, notre fin de matinée risque d'être désastreuse : notre cerveau fatigué nous poussera à prendre des décisions qui privilégient la simplicité ou le court terme. Les auteurs conseillent donc une grande vigilance : si nous observons des signaux de baisse de volonté, c'est le moment de s'abstenir de prendre des décisions cruciales ! Si notre stock de volonté est limité, il peut néanmoins être entraîné et développé, à la manière d'un muscle. Par de petits exercices quotidiens, chacun peut augmenter son niveau de volonté et ainsi sa capacité d'atteindre ses objectifs Mais c'est aussi sur la notion d'objectifs qu'il est utile de travailler. Presque toujours trop ambitieux, ceux-ci tiennent rarement compte des limites de notre volonté. Il faudrait ainsi s'astreindre à ne passer à un deuxième objectif que lorsque le premier a été atteint, pour ne pas disperser son précieux stock de volonté. De même, un suivi régulier, voire quotidien, de ces objectifs est essentiel pour réguler les dérapages qui ne manqueront pas de se produire. Ce suivi est d'autant plus efficace lorsqu'il est partagé avec des proches : un engagement oral et public a plus de poids qu'une résolution prise uniquement avec soi-même. Un livre émaillé de recommandations souvent de bon sens, parfois contre-intuitives, toujours validées par des expériences. A recommander tant à titre personnel que professionnel. ## Frequently Bought Together - Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength - Read People Like a Book: How to Analyze, Understand, and Predict People’s Emotions, Thoughts, Intentions, and Behaviors (How to be More Likable and Charismatic) - Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/253423492-willpower-rediscovering-the-greatest-human-strength](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/253423492-willpower-rediscovering-the-greatest-human-strength) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-11-09*
