You mistakenly interpret Dweck's Stanford study as somehow undermining Baumeister's research into self-control, when in fact Baumeister's body of research actually tackles this very phenomenon. Baumeister's research showed that under less exaggerated levels of depletion, you could mentally overcome the self-control issues. But after a certain point, when depletion gets severe, the mentality described by Dweck actually starts causing you to do worse and worse. The reality is that science behind it is actually some of the most compelling and thoroughly thought out from the field of behavioral psychology.
