[book club] Ep. 3 – The Willpower Instinct, Chapter 6 – “The Cake is a Lie”


via IFTTT
On Monday over on Instagram, I discussed Chapter 6 of “The Willpower Instinct” by Kelly McGonigal. (recorded live and aired first on #IGTV – July 23, 2018)

Highlights:
– dopamine gives us the promise of relief/reward, not an actual reward
– we use what will make us feel bad later in order to feel good now
– don’t forget your Willpower Rx and pitfalls!

What setback can you predict on your willpower journey that you can plan for now? (Remember, self-compassion is KEY!) Let me know in the comments!
