Then you speak of your interest

TFF, thanks for your curiousity and for raising the important issues you do. WILLPOWER is about such topics as
INTELLIGENCE AND SELF CONTROL--qualities which, when cultivated, predict positive outcomes and great news for all of us.
BTW, using some of my personal supply of willpower, I have just about finished reading all 290 pages of WILLPOWER--the greatest human strength and the surest way to a better life.

Thus, as suggested in the Introduction(p.16), beginning about two weeks ago, I set myself a goal. To myself I said: You will read this book, as soon a possible. In addition, you will pay attention to the meaning of its message. Now, I am just about done.

Meanwhile, take a look at the following, which I will comment on, later. It just came to my attention from who knows from where:
