MM: Would You Pass the Marshmallow Test?

In our fast-paced world with constant access to information and resources, it’s natural that people want quick results and prefer not to wait…

However, what happens when we choose to delay gratification if it means we may achieve even more in the future?

On today today’s #CabralConcept 2964 I want to share with you the marshmallow experiment and go over what we can learn from it and how it applies to goal setting and attainment. Enjoy the show, and feel free to share your thoughts!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. What is the Marshmallow Test

The Stanford marshmallow experiment offered children the choice between one immediate reward (1 marshmallow) or two rewards (2 marshmallows) if they waited. 

2. What Did The Study Show

Follow-up studies showed that those who demonstrated delayed gratification tended to achieve better life outcomes, including higher SAT scores, educational attainment, and healthier BMI

3. Why is This Study Important

As adults we tend to want results immediately. By developing the ability to postpone immediate desires and rewards, we can develop a skill that can be applied across various aspects of life, creating discipline and resilience.
