Wait: The art and science of delay

Wait: The art and science of delay by Frank Partnoy 290 pgs.

Loved the premise of this book...that we make better decisions when we take as much time possible to make them.  The author then goes on to make the case by looking at professional athletes, business people, journalists, authors, military officials, etc.  I like anything that tells me not to rush as I feel like this is one of the biggest and least helpful message that we get from society today.  There are tons of great examples in the book where the "long view" pays off and where the overnight success story is debunked.

I love the economics of this and the psychology of this and the author's writing is a pleasure from start to finish.
