When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing

by Daniel H. Pink

$7.95

“Our lives present a never-ending stream of ‘when’ decisions—when to change careers, deliver bad news,
schedule a class, end a marriage, go for a run, or get serious about a project or person. But most of these decisions emanate from a steamy bog of intuition and guesswork,” explains author Daniel Pink. Timing is, in fact, a science. Using entertaining stories and exhaustive research, Pink illustrates that timing isn’t just the main thing, it’s the only thing.
