Yes.
Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman (which is not a light read).
But Fooled by Randomness by Nassim Taleb more of an influence for Supercoach (as well as his better known The Black Swan).
Looking forward now to reading Wait: the Art and Science of Delay by Frank Partnoy.
'The art of knowing how long you can afford to delay before committing is at the heart of many a great decision—whether in a corporate takeover or a marriage proposal. Exploring decisions from those made in half a second to those that take months and years, Partnoy demonstrates that procrastination is often virtuous, that the ability to wait is the path to happiness, and that our gut instincts often betray us.'
Sounds appropriate for Supercoach (especially the gut instinct part) so this year I have named my team Bringing the Wait. Just need to read it now.....while also procrastinating.
