Força de vontade: a redescoberta do poder humano book pdf download By John Tierney

Qual é o caminho mais eficaz para que um indivíduo consiga atingir suas metas e construir uma vida equilibrada sob todos os aspectos? Para responder a essa pergunta, o psicólogo norte-americano Roy Baumeister conduziu uma ampla pesquisa, concluindo que existe, sim, uma chave para o sucesso pessoal: a força de vontade, baseada no autocontrole. Neste livro, o jornalista John Tierney apresenta de forma clara e acessível a base teórica e as aplicações práticas do trabalho de Baumeister. A partir da constatação de que a vontade é, efetivamente, uma energia física – que pode ser fortalecida com exercícios ou exaurida pelo excesso –, o livro traz discussões instigantes, exemplos reais e sugestões eficientes para vencer as tentações diárias que nos afastam de nossos alvos, superar vícios e hábitos negativos, emagrecer definitivamente, educar nossos filhos, trabalhar de forma produtiva e atingir objetivos em todas as áreas. Sem recorrer a fórmulas prontas nem a lições de moral, Força de Vontade expõe uma das mais completas e rigorosas pesquisas sobre o comportamento humano deste início de século, mostrando como esse revolucionário conhecimento pode transformar – ou salvar – vidas.
