- Ego-depletion is a theory that willpower is connected to a limited reserve of mental energy, and once you run out of that energy, you’re more likely to lose self-control.
- But new studies suggest that we’ve been thinking about willpower all wrong, and that the theory of ego-depletion isn’t true.

- Just as we don’t “run out” of joy or anger, willpower ebbs and flows based on what’s happening to us and how we feel.
- Rather than quit, we need to understand that we don’t run out of willpower. Believing we do makes us less likely to accomplish our goals, by providing a rationale to quit when we could otherwise persist.
