I find self-help books and self-help gurus like Sampson to be something akin to placebos for willpower, but placebos work for a lot of people so I guess I just go through life gritting my teeth and bearing it rather than spending my time complaining how it's all a bunch of bull.

What is willpower if not a placebo? It’s simply a belief at the end of the day.
Line from a song I heard recently: “Faith ain’t nothing but a game face, cousin.”
