11:05 Is willpower a myth?
The struggle for self-control is real, and one many of us are familiar with - but is 'willpower' actually a myth?
Psychology professor Michael Inzlicht has long been intrigued by how we curb our less desirable behaviours, and what it is that unites people with 'high self-control'.
His research at the University of Toronto's Work and Play Lab also seeks to understand our complicated relationship with effort and empathy - and whether so-called 'empathetic AI' has a place in our future.

Anyone who lives with a dog, also lives with their hair – on their clothes, couch and every possible surface. It’s about time we understand the science behind their coats and how to care for them properly.
Whether your dogs coat is long, short, straight, wavy, curly, wiry, or smooth – it all comes down to the difference in only three genes.
Susan Hazel is Associate Professor of the School of Animal and Veterinary Science at the University of Adelaide, where she teaches animal welfare, animal behavior and animal ethics. She’s here to answer all your dog grooming questions.
