Kyle

Kyle asked Nir Eyal:

One topic I was unclear on is Ego depletion. For example: "...it’s more productive and healthful to believe a lack of motivation is temporary than it is to tell ourselves we’re spent and need a break)." Can you help me understand the difference between these perspectives? Isn't feeling a need for a break the same as believing in a temporary lack of motivation? Thank you! This book has genuinely changed my life.
