- arjie 10mo agoHaha! Listen, the "you can do it if you believe in yourself" stuff always sounds bogus. But there was some stuff around ten years ago about this. Here's an example: https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1313475110#F1 https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1313475110#F1
- DiscourseFan 10mo agoI don’t think its completely bogus. There are lots of things you can do that you don’t realize you can. But 40-50 hours of work a week, even if you don’t even leave your house, still takes a lot out of you.
- monoidl 10mo agoAlso when I last checked, "willpower as a finite resource isn't a thing" was simply the scientific consensus But I agree that doesn't necessarily translate to "willpower is infinite"
