Default Will Power

Will Power is a much discussed topic in certain 12 Step Recovery Programs and elsewhere I think. Anyway, here's my thought:

I can will today my Will today, but can I will today my Will tommorrow?

I think a more important issue is how often a wood chuck would will his will if a wood chuck could will a will.

Once again I have a chapter about this precise subject. In fact I considered the subject (Will Power) so important, that I REPEATED it in both sections. (To my knowledge, it could be the only book ever written that has the exact same chapter in two different places.) You guys really do need to get this book. The poker section ain't too bad either.

It was in the book "Will Power and God: Why learning math is important even if your IQ is below 140 and you will never play in the games I play".

The sequel will be entitled "Mid-Life Crisis Management: Why I will always be right when I discuss topics for which there is no proof".

No wonder you're able to write so many books.
