Download Wait: The Art and Science of Delay AudioBook Free
A separate polemic in favor of pausing to believe, not blink. What do these situations have in common: a specialist tennis player coming back a serve, a female evaluating an initial date over the table, a naval official assessing a hazard to his dispatch, and a comedian going to show you a punch brand? In such a counterintuitive and insightful work, publisher Frank Partnoy weaves collectively findings from a huge selection of scientific studies and interviews with wide-ranging experts to create an image of effective decision making that operates unlike our brutally fast-paced world. Thought technology is exerting new pressures to increase our lives, as it happens that the options we make--unconsciously and consciously, in time frames varying from milliseconds to years-benefit profoundly from delay. Taking control of time and slowing down our responses yields better results in nearly every world of life-even when time seems to be of the substance. The procrastinator in all folks will take pleasure in Partnoy's accounts of star "delay specialists," from Warren Buffett to Chris Evert to Steve Kroft, underscoring the myriad ways in which delaying our reactions to everyday choices-large and small-can improve the quality of our lives. Frank Partnoy is the George E. Barrett Professor of Regulation and Finance which is codirector of the Center on Corporate and Securities Regulation at the College or university of San Diego. He's one of the world's leading experts on the complexities of modern funding and financial market legislation. He's also the author of several works of nonfiction.
