The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do to Get More of It by Kelly McGonigal

4.0

Despite the dudebro title, this is actually a very helpful collection of explanations, advice, and techniques on various aspects of self-control. I like that it's fairly well-rounded, and includes a fair bit about things like sleeping enough and mindfulness. It isn't really about timers, planners, and whatnot ~productivity techniques~, but instead focuses on teaching the kind of strategies that are applicable in a wide array of situations and are likely to actually help people make permanent (if not dramatic) changes in their lives.
