In this class, Rabbi Shafier shows how real willpower is built, starting with Rabbi Akiva, who held onto his emunah even while being tortured to death. He then connects it straight to real life, including the famous Stanford marshmallow test, proving that the ability to delay gratification predicts long-term success. The message is clear: willpower isn’t something you’re born with, it’s a muscle you train. Build it, and everything else in life gets easier to control.
