I have struggled for years with delaying gratification. Personally, I enjoy having and eating my cake immediately. I know it truly has hindered my ability to be resilient and anytime I have delayed gratification in an area, the reward was sweeter and everything ultimately flowered more effortlessly.
The challenge is that I didn't have an actual blueprint for how to really delay gratification or anything that demonstrated why it was important to do so - until now. This book has the power to change many lives. Buy it. Read it. Ear mark it - and prepare for the new life to follow.

Emilio provides us with an uncommon gift: perspective. His clearly reasoned views on the importance of delayed gratification are backed up with real world examples ranging from our historical survival instincts to the modern- day challenge of raising a family.
He does not use "because I say it's so" commandments. Rather, he teaches through patience and compelling reminders of what we all should know- The best things are worth waiting because lasting happiness cannot be rushed. A short cut is never the path leading to our long term goals.
