(Community Matters) Very important article in today’s NYTimes magazine about decision fatigue and ego depletion.
I’d like to know if computer & auto purchase configuration programs are designed to take advantage of this phenomenon and if so, do we consider this ethical.
Note: sugar restoring will power, artificial sweetner not doing so. During ego depletion, our brains respond more favorably to immediate rewards and less to long term prospects. Glucose helps restore ego depletion.
hmm, reinforces my simple sugars (fresh fruits) allowance during dieting – as well as importance of naps.
