Praise for The Stress Effect

engaging must–read for executives, managers, and entrepreneurs aiming to
optimize their decision–making and leadership qualities."
—Elkhonon Goldberg, clinical professor of neurology, NYU School of Medicine
"The Stress Effect is an amazing integration of how to use the power of our
unconscious and emotions to make rational decisions. It can help you develop
your intuition."
—Richard E. Boyatzis, professor, Departments of Organizational Behavior,
Psychology, and Cognitive Science, Case Western Reserve University, and
coauthor, Primal Leadership and Resonant Leadership

professionally from the information it presents on how stress impacts the quality and timeliness of decisions. It should be required reading for CEOs, members of the National Security Council, all military commanders, and university leaders."
—Lieutenant General Russel L. Honoré, U.S. Army (Ret), former Comm–ander of First Army and Joint Task Force Katrina
