This week, I tell a story from my teenage years about delaying gratification.
I discuss “The Marshmallow experiment,” which is properly titled:

The Cognitive and attentional mechanisms in delay of gratification.

Mischel, Walter; Ebbesen, Ebbe B.; Raskoff Zeiss, Antonette

[Article] Journal of Personality & Social Psychology. 21(2):204-218, February 1972.

Lastly, I discuss the importance of remembering the promise of a future reward that is greater than your temporary circumstances in order to keep in track in delaying gratification.
