You may even dream about getting out of the rat race for good. But Todd Buchholz--a former White House director of economic policy, award-winning teacher at Harvard, hedge fund director, and co-producer of a Tony Award-winning Broadway hit show--wants you to know that you're wrong. It's the race that delivers the rush. So forget about retirement, zen retreats, and making everyone feel like a winner; human beings are hard-wired to compete. Interweaving entertaining stories and cutting-edge research from neuroeconomics to evolutionary biology to Renaissance art to General Motors, Buchholz draws the counterintuitive--yet wholly convincing--conclusion that competition has not only made us taller and smarter, it's what we love and need.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45355126423703,"sku":"9780452297951","price":825.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780452297951.webp?v=1767670488","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/rush-why-we-thrive-in-the-rat-race-9780452297951","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
