#35 Winning Willpower Fatigue and Avoiding Ego Depletion with Isaac Chanakira

“You may fetter my leg, but Zeus himself cannot get the better of my free will.”  - Epictetus Do you have the free will to do whatever you want to do?  "Of Course! I'm an independent individual who can make any decision I desire..." you might say at first breath... But do you remember all those times You've skipped a workout just because you don't feel like it You opted for that piece of cake when at a dinner party You spazzed out in anger at that asshole who cut in front of you You can't stay focused on reading because your monkey mind keeps distracting you And my favorite... You make life-determining decisions based on how it affects your position in the dominance hierarchy of your social group and peers Do you still have FREE WILL?  In the midst of heated emotions, chaotic situations, ego depletion, willpower fatigue, genetic predispositions, and a world full of distractions it's difficult to say whether or not we have free will or not Viktor Frankl, an Auschwitz camp survivalist and a psychologist, said: "Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."
