Using willpower Vs designing your environment for success
Benjamin Hardy, PhD who I have referred to a few times through this year has written a whole book ‘Willpower Doesn’t work’ – about why over reliance on will power is bound to fail. To make his point he quotes the findings of historian Will Durant – the author of The Story of Civilization – a labour of love that took him over 4 decades to complete. This is what he concluded – ‘“history was not shaped by great men, but rather by demanding situations.”
