Summary:
When we fail, its easy to make excuses or blame our circumstances. But let's face it: the biggest enemy is usually the one staring back at us from the mirror every morning. We lack self-control. We tend to think of it as boring, but the truth is that people who cultivate this vital virtue lead freer, happier, and more meaningful lives. Our bad habits keep us from becoming the people God created us to be. Dyck explores Scripture's teachings on how to live a disciplined life while offering practical strategies for growth based on the science of self-control. -- adapted from back cover
