Here are two Stanford psychologists skeptical of Baumeister's "ego depletion" theory:

I'm with Dweck and against Baumeister on this.

I read the article quickly, but it doesn't sound like they're
skeptical of whether ego depletion occurs. It just sounds like
they're going a step beyond what Baumeister has found, and saying that
you should be careful of the choices you make when you become aware
that your ego has been depleted, and that you can make a "good"
decision if you prime the decision with a reminder that ego is
renewable. It's not completely fair to simply dismiss Baumeister's
studies.
