Willpower Myth

We have been sold a lie. The modern self-help industry tells us that success is about willpower—that if you just try harder, resist more, and push through, you will achieve anything. But science tells a different story. Willpower is not a character trait; it is a finite resource that depletes throughout the day.



This book dismantles the willpower myth and reveals the truth: environment shapes behavior far more than determination ever could. Learn why removing temptation beats resisting it, why automating decisions conserves mental energy, and why identity-based habits outlast goal-based motivation.



Stop fighting yourself. Instead, engineer your surroundings. Make the good choice the easy choice. When willpower fails—and it always does—your environment will carry you forward. This is not about being stronger. It is about being smarter.
