STOIC Posted January 3, 2013 Self-control is an avenue to achieve healthier, more successful and satisfying life. Dr Roy Baumeister a well known and largely cited Psychologist explains in this video how to use will power to set up your life. From overeating to substance abuse to sexual misbehavior Self control is associated with good adjustment and willpower to making good decisions. Basically Understanding self-control has potential applications across a broad spectrum of human behavior. Very informative Video and he also co-authored the Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength book with New York Times Science writer John Tierney..I just ordered the book on Amazon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha Blondy Posted January 3, 2013 NO THANKS......self control from what? control only leads to dark and deviant urges. only being a muslim and putting your life in hands of Al-mighty can lead your life in the right direction.....what is control without purpose....its mental illnesses, its a fetish, it's abuse. can we really learn from white people? they are wicked... and represent the extreme limits of humanity without control...... pedophilia is on the increase, rape is on the increase, incest is commonplace, depression is the norm, their culture is savage and wicked......and has taken a divergent path from the norm. they delusional and hyperbolic. if they think they can educate us then we say.....'NO THANKS' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOIC Posted January 3, 2013 You are just riding the wave of ignorance warya.This Professor is far from myopic academic and his research has nothing to do with race or religion. I guess you have no respect for Scientific research. Intelligent behavior is a vital to human success and whether you get it from your religion or from your inner self-regulatory training its still something to strive for.

Alpha Blondy Posted January 3, 2013 stop hiding behind scientific research. it means nothing to me....i'm an arts graduate and have no respect for those trained in linear thinking, approaches and methods. its all about culture, race relations, linguistics and gentrification. methodological processes, test tubes, specimens in petri-dishes and ''trail and error'' mean nothing to me. you= 1+1 = 2 Alpha = 1+1 = 2.65 you: the design of the cup Alpha: the flavour of the drink. ma fahantahay mise waan waada?
