第一本阐释关于自控力的新科学，以及如何利用它来改善我们的健康、幸福感和生产力的著作。在目睹学生们多年来在各种选择中苦苦挣扎后，健康心理学博士 Kelly McGonigal 意识到，人们对意志力的许多既有认知其实在阻碍他们走向成功。为了分享科学界关于自控力的既有成果，McGonigal 为 Stanford University 的继续教育项目开设了一门名为“The Science of Willpower”的课程。该课程迅速引发轰动，并由此催生了极具……

……- 《坚毅》（Grit）——我能理解它为什么会火，写得挺不错而且信息量很足，但它在同类书里算不上顶尖的，我觉得它经不起时间的考验。我推荐读凯利·麦格尼格尔的《自控力》（The Willpower Instinct）和安德斯·埃里克森的《刻意练习》（Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise）来代替它。- 《房租太高了》（The Rent Is Too Damn High）——马特·伊格莱西亚斯是个在智识上不诚实的评论员，我建议……
…- Grit - I can see why it's caught on, it's pretty well-written and informative, but it's not one of the stronger books in the genre and I don't think it will stand the test of time. I recommend The Willpower Instinct - by Kelly McGonigal and Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise - by Anders Ericsson in its place. - The Rent Is Too Damn High - Matt Yglesias is an intellectually dishonest pundit and I recommend…
理解自我损耗（ego depletion）和意志力，对任何脑力工作者来说都是极其重要的技能。像 http://www.amazon.com/The-Willpower-Instinct-Self-Control-Ma... 这样的书，在帮助程序员提升工作表现方面，可能比一本讲编译器的书还管用。
Understanding ego depletion and willpower are incredibly important skills for any knowledge worker. A book like http://www.amazon.com/The-Willpower-Instinct-Self-Control-Ma... will help a programmer perform better work than a book on compilers.
我想推荐凯利·麦格尼格尔的《自控力》（The Willpower Instinct）：http://www.amzn.com/dp/1583334386。你也可以看看她在 Google 做的一场很棒的演讲：http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5BXuZL1HAg 简而言之：睡眠、运动、健康饮食和冥想……

我要分享一段最终说服我开始规律冥想的信息。我是从读《自控力》（http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10865206-the-willpower-in...）里学到的。冥想能带来所有这些美妙的积极作用，但它挺难的，要是我一直学不会怎么办？事实证明，光是去尝试……
I'm going to share the bit of information that finally convinced me to start meditating regularly. I learned it from reading The Willpower Instinct (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10865206-the-willpower-in...). Meditation produces all of these wonderful side effects, but it's hard, what if I never get good at it? Well, it turns out that trying…
……我认识的任何人。那肯定不是我的问题。好消息是，现实中真的有人靠研究这个为生。如果你想找一本通俗易懂的入门书来了解意志力的极限和用法，麦格尼格尔的《自控力》是一个很好的起点，能让你明白为什么说“噢，那些人就是意志不坚定”是一种既偷懒又错误的答案。
…anybody I know. That certainly wasn't my problem. The good news is that people actually study this for a living. If you want a readable introduction to the limits and uses of willpower, McGonigal's The Willpower Instinct is a fine place to start understanding why, "Oh, those people are just weak," is a lazy and wrong answer.
……你的车并烧掉公交卡，逼得你只能骑自行车）。因为缺乏意志力而自责真的很令人沮丧（我自己也会这样，但这是不对的）。我推荐凯利·麦格尼格尔的《自控力》。网上也有她在 YouTube 上的演讲视频。
…your car and burn your public transport subscription, so that you have to go by bicycle). Beating oneself up about lack of willpower is really sad (I do it myself, but it's wrong). I recommend "The Willpower Instinct" by Kelly McGonigal. There are also YouTube videos of her speaking.
