Recenzje

Willpower (the thing) lies at the curious intersection of science and behavior. Willpower (the book) lies at the intersection of Roy Baumeister, an extraordinarily creative scientist, and John Tierney, a phenomenally perceptive journalist. Ignore it at your peril Stephen J. Dubner, coauthor of 'Freakonomics' and 'SuperFreakonomics'
