The Marshmallow Principle. The most important principle to follow around the expensive holidays… Miami, Fl December 6, 2007 International author, Joachim de Posada, has just released his new book, Don't Gobble the Marshmallow...Ever!. This is a follow up to is book, Don't Eat the Marshmallow...Yet (Penguin, 2006), a New York Times 'Business Book of the Month.' and with more than two million copies in 20 different languages sold all over the world.
In a landmark study by Stanford University, preschoolers were each given a marshmallow to hold with a small caveat: Eat it now, or wait 15 minutes and receive another, doubling the treat. Researchers followed the children for years and found - incredibly - that over time, those who waited became much more successful than those who did not. The power of delayed gratification, which is the basis for The Marshmallow Principle, is the most underestimated and important principle to success in today’s fast-paced, connected and consumer centric society.
