Because the MOQ is essentially about choosing wisely some of you may be interested in books about choice recommended by an academic who has studied the subject -- Sheena Iyengar of Columbia University whose own book, "The Art of Choosing" has just been published. She recommends six books that gave her insights into the subject:
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Essays: First Series by Ralph Waldo Emerson The Mysteries of Agatha Christie. The Worldly Philosophers by Robert I. Heilbroner Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert In her own book, Ms. Iyengar says (as reported in the Wall St. Journal) that "the followers of fundamentalist religions, which tend to impose more rules and restrictions on individual choice and behavior, report being happier than members of liberal churches and atheists." That will probably surprise more than a few intellectuals. The Journal reviewer, Christopher F. Chabris, a psychology professor at Union College, summed up his review by observing, "Human choice has not yet been corralled by a grand unified theory. Given the complexity of the brain and the busy world we live in, it probably never will." Never say never, professor. There's a grand unified theory called the MOQ that you might break though your immune system.
