Baumeister, a social psychologist at Florida State University, whose research is the subject of the article (and of a forthcoming book that he and I wrote together, “Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength”).
“Making decisions uses the very same willpower that you use to say no to doughnuts, drugs or illicit sex,” Baumeister says. “It’s the same willpower that you use to be polite or to wait your turn or to drag yourself out of bed or to hold off going to the bathroom. Your ability to make the right investment or hiring decision may be reduced simply because you expended some of your willpower earlier when you held your tongue in response to someone’s offensive remark or when you exerted yourself to get to the meeting on time.”
