Key Lessons
- Your chosen environment, rather than your willpower alone, will help nudge you toward the best choices.
- Ask yourself: Will this action make the future easier or harder?
- Self-control is about creative space for reason instead of just blindly following instincts. It’s about being able to view and manage your emotions as if they were inanimate objects - things that don’t have the power to determine what you do unless you let them.
