Wait - Frank Partnoy

Wait: The Useful Art of Procrastination by Frank Partnoy weaves together findings from scientific studies and interviews with experts to craft a picture of effective decision-making that runs counter to our brutally fast-paced world. Even as technology exerts new pressures to speed up our lives, it turns out that the choices we make - unconsciously and consciously, benefit profoundly from delay. As this winning and provocative book reveals, taking control of time and slowing down our responses yields better results in almost every arena of life … even when time seems to be of the essence.
