So how do we fare in this war of willpower? Not that great. At day’s end, we have spent three to four hours using willpower to squash the urge to eat another cookie, take a nap, order a third martini, play Candy Crush, check in again on Facebook, buy another pair of shoes, lease a Tesla or have an affair. A recent study shows we experience some sort of desire during one out of every two minutes we’re awake, and many of these are cravings we’re trying to resist. If you feel like you move through your days with the devil of temptation on one shoulder and the angel of restraint on the other, there’s good reason.
