Radiolab: Mischel’s Marshmallows

Below the movie is an mp3. Play it to hear this episode of Radiolab on the research of psychologist Walter Mischel on willpower, delayed gratification, and how a childhood pattern can lead to patterns of behavior in adulthood. The question is, how many will do the marshmallow test on their own kids and grandkids and worry about the results?
