Willpower is a finite resource. Anyone who's ever given up on a New Year's resolution knows- Willpower eventually runs out. Whether your goal is personal or professional, the factor that really determines success is your commitment level. Unpacking forty years of research by psychologists and economists, Heidi Reeder, PhD, busts the myths and shows how commitment boils down to just four variables- Treasures- the benefits we get from working toward a goal, Troubles- the difficulties we have to deal with Contributions- the time, money, and effort we invest, and Choices- the number of good alternatives we have Offering examples and action plans for a variety of situations, Commit to Win shows us how to stop wishing - and start achieving. 'A must read.' Cal Newport, author of So Good They Can't Ignore You 'Delightfully practical as well as informative, packed with intelligence and clarity of both thought and expression. Learned, yet eminently accessible, it is a rare pleasure.' The Economist
