Summary

The chapters thus far have dealt with the process of goal-setting and goal pursuit to maximize our self-control efforts to achieve our goals. Yet as noted, self-control is an iterative process that we engage in over time. Given the inherent difficulties of any goal pursuit, the need to create a support system seems implicit to attain self-control success in the long term. This chapter focuses on the social and contextual factors that facilitate a progression toward goal attainment in an attempt to encourage us to establish a support system that can bolster our attempts at goal attainment.
