This book offers the groundwork for making choices that allow you to spend more time on the things you care about and less time on those you’d rather skip.” —Kim Scott, NY Times bestselling author of Radical Candor “Some books convey deep insights that make you gasp with recognition.

—Jerome Groopman, M.D., Harvard Medical School and NY Times bestselling author of How Doctors Think "The deceptive simplicity of The Power of Agency is rooted in the authors' close acquaintance with the complexity of modern life; their genius lies in their ability to show us precisely how to run our own lives rather than to allow our lives to run us."
