One marshmallow now, or two marshmallows afterwards? This is a book that teaches you we as humans are able to change, resist temptations and improve our self-control. The book stems from the experiments in Stanford University. Mr. Mischel conducted the "The Marshmallow Experiments", he learnt important life lessons from those experiments and in an explicit and enjoyable way these results had been shown to the readers. Some striking news to me: •Painkillers work in the heartbreaks. •In order to see the situation in cool/rational system we should think ourselves as if we are a fly on the wall that bears witness to what happens. •When one feels sadness or anxiety, thinking about the people with whom the one is connected helps to cool down the mood of the person. •To be able to raise responsible children, we should change our behaviour towards the way we want our children to have these behaviours. It is the behaviours rather than the speech that have strong effect on the children. So, be the model for your children! Besides, the writer himself was struggling with his own impatience and his cigarette addiction. It reminds me that we are all human beings and we can make mistakes.
