7.Summary
When we meet with setbacks, we often reduce our pressure by making false promises. It doesn't make us feel better but worse because we give in to temptation. The terrorist management strategy is base on our psychological. It is easy to find that we often give up self-control challenges because of too much self-criticism. Once we get into the hell effect cycle, it's hard to come out. Therefore, we also need self-compassion.Only pessimism and optimism can we overcome the temptation of self-control.
