Let's talk about the concept of willpower, its limitations, and how to strengthen it. We begin by looking at how willpower is defined by researcher Kelly McGonigal. According to McGonigal, it's the ability to resist temptation and make choices that align with our long-term goals, even when faced with resistance. Interestingly, research shows willpower is a finite resource that depletes throughout the day except for one element, which acts as a buffer against this depletion. In this episode, you learn  research-based strategies for improving willpower.

In schools, adults are asked to do hard, and sometimes very unpleasant, things regularly. What's the difference between those that face the challenges consistently those that don't? Learn the differences between the two and how to help those you lead improve their willingness make choices that align with thier long-term goals.
