Self-control is a really important skill and it seems to be somehow trained/learned/acquired. To the extent that it's analogous to willpower I don't find the author terribly persuasive. Though I do agree it is pretty well known that ego depletion isn't replicating and that there's no magical way to strain your mind like some sort of non-fraudulent Uri Geller and achieve "willpower." I don't think the article made its point cleanly.
