Mind Over Marshmellow

I recently came across a 2009 New Yorker article about this classic study and its researcher, Walter Mischel. It's a good reminder for those of us trying to stick to a diet that our cravings are perfectly natural, that defeating them really is a question of mind over matter, and that the consequences of learning--or failing to learn--to do so can be HUGE.
