Don't blink, it's better to delay. Take your time, perhaps even procrastinate. In short, wait.
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. (9781846682384), The Match King (9781861979384) and Infectious Greed (9781846682933).
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.

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.

Genius Failed'*
