In Wait: The Art and Science of Delay, Frank Partnoy challenges our impulse for speed by revealing how measured hesitation can improve choices in every arena—from the tennis court to the boardroom. Drawing on hundreds of studies and interviews with experts, this book uncovers the hidden benefits of pausing before acting.
Whether evaluating a date, returning a serve, or assessing a threat, readers learn how strategic patience sharpens judgment, reduces errors, and unveils new opportunities. Partnoy profiles “delay specialists” such as Warren Buffett and Chris Evert to bring these concepts to life.
In a world driven by technology and instant feedback, slowing down can be the ultimate competitive advantage. This book offers practical strategies to integrate brief pauses into both high-pressure situations and everyday decisions.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
