ABOUT THIS BOOK
We assume that if we buy a chocolate bar, it is because we wanted to eat it. The truth, however, is that many of the acts we perform every day are simply a reaction to the circumstances in which we find ourselves.
Because buying a chocolate bar is not usually the main reason people go to the supermarket, stores place these treats in a very prominent place or in the checkout line, where they will not go unnoticed.
What stores do then is create an environment that encourages the purchase of that product, i.e., an environment that makes it more difficult to exercise self-control, putting us in front of an unexpected temptation.
Self-control does not work in the long run, as anyone who has suffered with undesirable habits and vices knows. We blame our defects of self-control, which are too often mistaken for defects of will. However, this is never the case.
