The mysterious story of self-control

Abstract

Are you interested in learning how you can train your brain to control your impulses and urges? Everyday life is full of temptations, and we need good self-control to resist them. But every now and then, our self-control fails and we can no longer suppress our urges; we take risks we shouldn’t take, or make impulsive decisions that we later regret. We will tell you the mysterious story of self-control. We study how the human mind controls behaviour, introduces people to the mechanisms involved in resisting temptations. In addition, we explore how self-control may be strengthened via novel training tasks.
