Description
What do these scenarios have in common: a dog holding a treat on its nose for a reward, a woman evaluating a first date, a naval officer assessing a threat to his ship and a comedian revealing a punch line?
In all walks of life, timing is crucial. And in our brutally fast-paced world, the assumption is that quicker equals better. But, as Frank Partnoy shows in this counterintuitive guide for the procrastinator in all of us, when we take control of time and slow down we make better, more efficient decisions.
Findings from hundreds of scientific studies and interviews with wide-ranging experts and celebrity 'delay specialists'- from Warren Buffett to Chris Evert - reveal a myriad of ways in which slowing our reactions to everyday choice can make us the masters of the art of delay.
