The Book

In this lecture series Dr. DeWall, an expert in self-control research, covers the science around self-control and its importance when dealing with money, fitness, personal relationships, and more.

He introduces the general theories behind self-control: what it is, how it works, and how you can take steps to improve it. Topics covered include:

  • The importance of delayed gratification in better individual well-being in everything from higher self-worth to less sensitivity to rejection.

  • The link between the prefrontal cortex and aggression.
