Why Willpower is Overrated (and what to use instead)
Dr. B often says that we aren't "broken." That word implies a permanent state. Instead, we are often operating with an incomplete system.
Think of it like trying to run modern software on a computer from 1995. The hardware isn't "bad," it just doesn't have the right processing system for the current load.
By utilizing the Mentally STRONG Method, you learn to:
Identify the "bugs" in your thought patterns.
Build a consistent framework for decision making.
Reduce the "friction" that makes you feel like you need willpower in the first place.
Better systems = Better mental health.
