The Marshmallow Test

Why Self-Control is the Engine of Success

Beschreibung

A child is presented with a marshmallow and given a choice: Eat this one now, or wait and enjoy two later. What will she do? And what are the implications for her behavior later in life? The world's leading expert on self-control, Walter Mischel has proven that the ability to delay gratification is critical for a successful life. But is willpower prewired, or can it be taught?

Rezensionen

The Marshmallow Test is a tour de force. Despite its serious academic content, it wears its learning lightly ... this book will make [Mischel] as much of a household name as his marshmallows are. Natalie Gold The Times
