What you’ll hear in this episode:
In this episode, I share the psychology of self-control and give science-backed tips on how to become better at doing delayed gratification.
We retell the story of the famous Marshmallow Experiment and share one particular discovery from the study that isn’t often told in media.
We also learn more about the well-renowned Carrots and M&Ms study, which gives us the surprising reason why some people have better self-control and how we can learn it too.
Lastly, all throughout the episode, I share the personal experiments on delayed gratification that I did, which I hope could give you practical tips on how to improve your financial habits.

I miss reading your works Sir Fitz.
Awww, thank you. I’ve been busy creating video content in the past couple of years and recently, learning about podcasting. But I still love writing and would definitely go back to blogging more personal articles here soon.
