Roy Baumeister - The Psychology Of Male Willpower

Talking points: men, psychology, culture

Roy Baumeister is a mighty pillar in the world of psychology, with groundbreaking work on willpower, self-control, negativity bias, and much more. I had the honor of chatting with him about all of these things in the context of men. How do we develop robust self-esteem? Is it work breaking free of isolation? Are there unique social pressures? This is chock full, team.

(00:07:59) - Roy on risk-taking in men and women

(00:14:01) - Roy’s most cited work, why we fixate more on the bad things, and men’s self-destructive behavior

(00:27:48) - Strategies you can use to replace unhealthy coping mechanisms

(00:34:09) - How important is it for men to have robust and diverse social circles?

(00:45:10) - What is “ego depletion”?

(00:52:21) - The effect of porn on self-control, and wisdom for men struggling with self-esteem
