Hearing lots of hype....I guess Canadian women don't talk about book...not a single person I know IRL has mentioned it.

Read this after watching the English Patient as it is the prequel. Mesmerizing and so descriptive. Loved it

A fascinating journey into the hidden psychological influences that derail our decision-making, Sway will change the way you think about the way you think. Why is it so difficult to sell a plummeting stock or end a doomed relationship? Why do we listen to advice just because it came from someone “important”? Why are we more likely to fall in love when there’s danger involved? In Sway, renowned organizational thinker Ori Brafman and his brother, psychologist Rom Brafman, answer all these questions and more. Drawing on cutting-edge research from the fields of social psychology, behavioral economics, and organizational behavior, Sway reveals dynamic forces that influence every aspect of our personal and business lives, including loss aversion (our tendency to go to great lengths to avoid perceived losses), the diagnosis bias (our inability to reevaluate our initial diagnosis of a person or situation), and the “chameleon effect” (our tendency to take on characteristics that have been arbitrarily assigned to us). Sway introduces us to the Harvard Business School professor who got his students to pay $204 for a $20 bill, the head of airline safety whose disregard for his years of training led to the transformation of an entire industry, and the football coach who turned conventional strategy on its head to lead his team to victory. We also learn the curse of the NBA draft, discover why interviews are a terrible way to gauge future job performance, and go inside a session with the Supreme Court to see how the world’s most powerful justices avoid the dangers of group dynamics. Every once in a while, a book comes along that not only challenges our views of the world but changes the way we think. In Sway, Ori and Rom Brafman not only uncover rational explanations for a wide variety of irrational behaviors but also point readers toward ways to avoid succumbing to their pull.

Elizabeth Quon I won't lie, I have it preordered on Amazon. Should be here on April 3rd!
Suburban Princess Oh great...the two prissiest people I can think of are going to read this...and know each other read it. Will we be able to look each other in the eye?
Elizabeth Quon Ha! I won't have any issues~I'm curious and have no qualms about joining the ranks of the New york elitists.
Suburban Princess I heard all the UES ladies are buying their husbands grey ties! LOL! Some stores can't keep them in stock. Personally I think it's great that women want real men again - getting a bit tired of all the emo crying types.
Elizabeth Quon We'll have to dish once read!!
