Self-control

[Татя]

The article by social psychologist Heidi Grant Halvorson states that our self-control is just an instrument that can be used to perform helpful acts as well as harmful behavior. She says our self-control is not enough, we also need wisdom to make good decisions.

Wow! She understood the meaning of the provebs " Give a fool rope enough and he'll hang himself" or its Russian version "Make a fool pray to the Lord, and he'll break his forehead". My congratulation to social psychologist Heidi Grant Halvorson!

Dow The way you put it - it really sounds obvious.

may I ask you a question, татя

why do you select "self-control" subject?

[Татя]

КиЛа, because I am looking for alternatives. Maybe I was trying to convince myself that self-control is not the only and sometimes not the best way to make decisions.
