thanks, that was a really interesting article. Unfortunately it focused mainly on what "willpower" is dubious and not so much on what it is instead that helps one resist a craving. Only at the end the author wrote that the drinking lawyer had to much stress (underlying problem). But that isnt really a good general answer/explanation. I once read the book "the power of habit" and maybe that is the answer (its habits we need to control) but I am not sure.
- 0xdeadbeefbabe 9y agoIn order to resist a craving you must have a craving, and that's why I don't like to think of it as will power. Edit: Maybe it's easier to talk about power to do things.
