Why We thrive in the Rat Race<br />

People think that downtime will make them happy. some even dream about<br />

getting out of the rat race for good. but todd buchholz—a former White<br />

House director of economic policy, award-winning Harvard instructor,<br />

hedge fund director, and coproducer of a tony award–winning hit broadway<br />

show—proves that kind of thinking dead wrong. interweaving entertaining<br />

stories and cutting-edge research from neuroeconomics to evolutionary<br />

biology to Renaissance art to General motors, buchholz draws the<br />

counterintuitive—yet wholly convincing—conclusion that competition has not<br />

only made us taller and smarter, it’s what humans love and need. anyone<br />

who loves ayn Rand and hates big government will embrace this witty and<br />

provocative book.<br />

“Wicked smart.” —Neil Cavuto, host of FOX’s Your World and<br />

author of Your Money or Your Life<br />

“Surprising, intelligent, and entertaining.” —Leonard Mlodinow,<br />

author of The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking)<br />
