While waiting for more marshmallows could correlate to a brighter future, self-control may not be everything it's cracked up to be. This week we look at research on the subject to find out whether clinicians can effectively teach a delay to gratification and, more importantly, if we should. Plus, a board game review from Rob!

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
