But Arthur has always had a dream of starting his own business. In the face of a difficult economy and his own fears of success, Arthur begins to flounder in his new endeavor and forgets all of the principles his former boss, billionaire Jonathan Patient, taught him. Instead of delaying gratification, Arthur begins to eat his marshmallows again.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on the landmark Stanford University study, the marshmallow theory details the results of an experiment where children were left alone with a marshmallow and told that if they didn’t eat it they would receive an additional marshmallow in fifteen minutes. Years later, researchers discovered that the children who had chosen to wait grew up to become more successful adults than the children who had eaten their marshmallows immediately.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn Don’t Eat the Marshmallow…Yet!\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDon’t Gobble the Marshmallow…Ever!\u003c\/i\u003e, Joachim de Posada revealed to readers that the secret to success is not merely superior intelligence or hard work, but rather the ability to delay gratification. Now, in \u003ci\u003eKeep Your Eye on the Marshmallow\u003c\/i\u003e, Posada uses the parable of Arthur’s struggles after reaching the top to teach us that adhering to the marshmallow principle is especially important in uncertain economic times. True success is more than just financial gain or recognition; it’s the ability to balance every aspect of life outside of work—including hobbies, family, and love—in order to enjoy your success, maintain long-term goals, and savor the marshmallows of life.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120471163120,"sku":"9781101622407","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101622407_p0.jpg?v=1763689343","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101622407","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
