I was searching for the books you quoted/referenced here and saw that http://openlibrary.org/ has freely available electronic versions of the first two (‘The Beauty of Self-Control’ and ‘Brain and Personality’):

Traditional Eastern Orthodox Christians adhere to an extremely rigorous fasting regimen…precisely designed to strengthen willpower or “exercise the soul” in order to live a happier life.

Let me start off by saying that I enjoy your website and your articles immensely. Very good ideas which pertain to all aspects of a man’s life and which have truly allowed me to open my mind and better myself as a man.
One thing I wish you work on: When you say a phrase like “studies show” or “the statistics indicate” please reference those “studies” or “statistics”. I see that you have ONE reference for this particular article. If you reference other material, let’s see it! It gives more your articles validity and adds to your overall work. Other than that, fantastic job – keep it up!

Typical regrets and always the same resolutions… Without willpower and discipline we can have the same discussion every year, usually during this times when people make their resolutions…

Çünkü Tanrı bize korkuluk ruhu değil, güç, sevgi, ve ÖZDENİTİM ruhu vermiştir.

Because God to us fearful spirit not, power, love, and SELF MASTERY spirit He has given.

Believers have supernatural resources to invoke to compensate for personal shortcomings. “When I am weak, then am I strong.” Christ offers us a character prosthesis.

Wonderful article about the power of will. It’s in a constant battle with the power of want.
