Introduction

Ankur Varikhu: The Marshmallow test is a famous psychological test that was executed in the 1960s or 1970s. He says kids who went on to have, quote unquote, a successful life and their propensity to wait for the second Marshmallow were likely to do so because they knew delayed gratification would eventually come. "There's a lot of dispute on whether this experiment actually works or not," he adds.
