I have heard about the marshmallow test a few times before, but this is the first time I have seen it played out in video.
You put a marshmallow in front of a child and tell them that they can either eat it now, or they can have 2 marshmallows if they can save it until you are back in the room.
Just amazing to watch the decision making happening.

Andrew’s $0.02: I love this video because I see myself and my peers (both professionally and socially) anguishing this way all the time. However, adults are typically much more inhibited with how we externally express our frustration with temptation to the world; whereas, these kids’ are far more externally honest.
