In this episode, we dive into a classic psychology experiment with cookies and radishes that changed how we understand willpower. We’ll explore what the study revealed, the debate around the “ego depletion” theory, and—most importantly—practical ways to protect your energy and use self-control more strategically in daily life.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Willpower can feel like a limited resource that drains with use.

✅ It’s not always “lack of discipline”—often it’s lack of energy.

✅ Small daily decisions consume more willpower than we realize.

✅ Protecting your environment and habits strengthens self-control.

✅ The key is not brute force, but smart energy management.
