    Mejor cita de Master Self-Control: Science-Based Emotional Regulation

    “

    The most effective form of self-control isn't fighting your impulses head-on; instead, it's about changing your environment before temptation strikes. People with the highest self-control rarely find themselves in white-knuckle situations because they've learned to control the terrain before the battle even begins.

    ”
