Brain & Mind is now a monthly magazine with a new formula, format, and design, reflecting the revolution in neuroscience. This month's issue focuses on self-control. Every day we are torn between temptation and good intentions. Studies show that individuals who can forgo immediate pleasure to achieve a higher goal are more likely to succeed in life.

Brain & Mind is now a monthly magazine with a new formula, format, and design, reflecting the revolution in neuroscience. This month's issue focuses on self-control. Every day we are torn between temptation and good intentions. Yet studies show that individuals capable of forgoing immediate pleasure to achieve a higher goal are more likely to succeed in life. The good news is that, yes, willpower can be developed. Much like a muscle: training strengthens it, overtraining fatigues it. It's about finding the right balance, but the effort pays off: strengthening the brain's motivational circuits gives everyone the tools to achieve their ambitions. Also in this issue: Does religion make you selfish? When aging rhymes with happiness, Why don't women like negotiating their salary?... Brain & Mind is now a monthly magazine! At the heart of the cognitive revolution, the new Brain & Mind will be: more comprehensive, more engaging, and more dynamic.
