I'm just finishing "the power of habits", after reading a comment from Mark on a blogpost. I loved it. Before, I had read baumeister's Willpower, I really enjoyed the scientific content and absolutely hated the editorial content. The science behind willpower and habits are fascinating and have long term implications for what we seek here how we can change and work on ourselves.

Btw, thanks for putting out that post on dishing advice, which I had requested.

that's interesting Alvar.

What did you get out of it in terms of training your willpower? I'm now meditating everyday for 15 minutes. Sometimes I do three sessions a day.

What I've found to be very helpfull when it comes to willpower seems to be doing things that are difficult. Such as controlling urges etc...

Did you learn from the book then just that?
