Read my book revew of "Wait: The Art and Science of Delay" by Frank Partnoy

Book review published in ForeWord Reviews.

In Wait, Frank Partnoy examines our decision-making habits and processes and offers compelling insight into the reasons why we act and react differently in any given situation. He asks: Is procrastination a bad thing? Are first impressions as reliable and accurate as we may think they are? Are fast-food restaurants responsible for our frenzied American lifestyle? Partnoy's conclusions are intriguing, and they will inspire you to stop and think—indeed, to wait—before you proceed.
