A child is given a marshmallow and a choice: eat it now or wait and get two later. Mischel’s elegant and now classic test for self-control has sparked decades of discussion; while the ability to delay gratification predicts later success, is such discipline innate? In The Marshmallow Test: Mastering Self-Control Renowned, Mischel, professor of humane letters at Columbia, argues that willpower can be learned and shows how to apply it to a variety of endeavors.
