Willpower is overrated.
Inzlicht M, Friese M. Inzlicht M, et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2021 Apr 26;44:e42. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X20000795. Behav Brain Sci. 2021. PMID: 33904388
Any analysis of self-regulation that focuses solely on willpower in conflict-laden situations is insufficient. Research makes clear that the best way to reach one's goal is not to resist temptations but to avoid temptations before they arrive; it further suggests that w …

Willpower needs tactical skill.
Bermúdez JP. Bermúdez JP. Behav Brain Sci. 2021 Apr 26;44:e32. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X20000898. Behav Brain Sci. 2021. PMID: 33899708
