📱 eBook en inglés SECOND TREAT

"The Second Treat – Why waiting fifteen minutes predicts your entire life" revisits the famous Stanford Marshmallow Experiment. In the 1960s, Walter Mischel offered children a choice: Eat one marshmallow now, or wait 15 minutes and get two. Follow-up studies years later showed that the "waiters" had better SAT scores, lower BMIs, and better careers.
Psychologist Sarah Jenkins digs deeper than the headline. She explains that willpower isnt just a fixed trait (you have it or you dont). The successful kids used strategies: they distracted themselves, sang songs, or covered their eyes.
"The Second Treat" is a guide to learning delayed gratification. It argues that in an age of instant dopamine (TikTok, Uber Eats), the ability to wait is the ultimate competitive advantage. It teaches readers the cognitive tools to resist the "now" for a better "later."
