Frank Partnoy was a trader at Morgan Stanley before turning from gamekeeper to poacher and becoming professor of law and finance at the University of San Diego. He is one of the world's leading experts on the complexities of modern finance and financial market regulation and writes regularly for the Financial Times. He is the author of F.I.A.S.C.O.

Reviews

Frank Partnoy turns conventional wisdom on its head with this counterintuitive approach to decision-making. Rather than telling us how to make decisions faster and faster, he mines and refines a rich lode of information from experts in a surprising variety of fields to demonstrate the power of delay, whether measured in milliseconds, days, or decades. Wait is a great read, chock full of fascinating insights.
*Daniel H. Pink, author of 'Drive' and 'A Whole New Mind'*

Having mined the best of American research in fields as wide-ranging as finance, behavioral economics and law, Partnoy has written a beguilingly readable treatise that boils down to a single, easily digestible conclusion: in our busy modern lives, most of us react too quickly. I whole-heartedly recommend this book.
*Roger Lowenstein, author of 'The End of Wall Street' and 'When Genius Failed'*

A seductive case for measured action
*Time Out*

The perfect read for any self-proclaimed procrastinators
*Irish Tatler*

Fascinating
