Your Environment Is Part of Your Willpower : Using Cues, Friction, Visibility, and Access to Make Better Choices Easier

Better choices are harder when the environment repeatedly places distraction, friction, and temptation in the easiest path. Willpower matters, but so do cues, visibility, access, defaults, and the realities of shared spaces. William R. Stanek helps you examine how your surroundings shape behavior without pretending everyone can redesign home, work, or resources freely. Through the WISE Sustainability Check, you will identify one practical change that makes the preferred action easier, clearer, or more available.
