Thinking Fast & Slow Ch. 3-4.

Our main topic of conversation was will power. We would ask questions such as: is using will power good or bad? Does time burn it out or just make it stronger? Do we use the same quantity of will power every day?

The only question we got a real concrete answer for was the last one; Do we use the same quantity of will power every day? The answer was that we don’t. Having the same amount of will power every day would not be biologically right. Some days we are in a bad mood or in an extremely good mood. Factors of this kind affect our will power. We should expect our will power to be affected by everything, this is why it is important to retrospect; to find out the things that make our will power stronger or weaker.
