Wait rethinks how timing shapes better choices. Drawing on hundreds of studies and interviews, Frank Partnoy makes the case that slowing responses—whether for moments or months—can improve judgment across many arenas.
Concrete scenarios range from a tennis return or a comedian's timing to a naval officer assessing risk or a person sizing up a first date. Partnoy combines behavioral research with profiles of notable practitioners to show how controlled delay works in practice.
For readers interested in decision-making, leadership, or everyday judgment, the book offers evidence-based insight and practical perspective.

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!
