A couple of months ago I became aware of a book that was coming out soon and I was fascinated by the title. The book is called The Price of Everything: Solving the Mystery of Why We Pay What We Do and is written by NY TImes Editorial Board member Eduardo Porter. I’m looking forward to reading it

Making Decisions to Make You Most Productive

Decisiveness is an important skill. It is valued in organizational life and needed for individuals.
