—Booklist 

“An authoritative guide to help women navigate the workplace and their everyday life with greater success and impact”

—Publishers Weekly

 “Finally!  A well-researched book that affirms the fact that, despite their self-doubts, women make great decision-makers. This book will help you to compete with your male counterparts with courage and confidence.”

—Lois P. Frankel, Ph.D., author of Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office and See Jane Lead

“If you’re a woman, read it.  If you’re a man, read it . . . Sometimes a book tells you something you really needed to know, whether you realized it or not, and How Women Decide is one of those books.”

—The National

“How do women make decisions? In this thoughtful, well-researched book, Huston avoids pop-psych answers that assume all women are the same. Exploding stereotypes, but showing their effect on women’s behavior, she offers intelligent guidance to the challenges and process of making decisions.”

—Carol Tavris, Ph.D., coauthor of Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me)

“How Women Decide blows up several myths about female decision-making that everyone believes, women included. Through thoughtful analysis and lively, entertaining anecdotes, it teaches us what's really happening—how bias works. Every woman needs to read this well-researched and wonderfully reported book.”

—Joanna Barsh, bestselling author of How Remarkable Women Lead and Centered Leadership

“This is one of the best books I’ve read on university teaching and learning in a long time. It addresses an issue that’s seldom discussed, in a book that’s both carefully researched and wonderfully sparkling in style.”

—Ken Bain, author of What the Best College Teachers Do

“Have you ever been asked to deliver a lecture at short notice on a topic that is outside your comfort zone? …If so, read this book. In fact, ever found yourself wondering how you could improve your teaching, even of topics well within your expertise? Again, if so, read this book.”

—Celia Popovic, Innovations in Education and Teaching International

“Moving behind the reassuring public image of professorial expertise, Huston exposes a growing but still largely hidden academic reality: university teachers–sometimes even full professors–teaching outside of their field. Interviews with dozens of university faculty convincingly establish the prevalence of the practice and clarify the institutional reasons that it will likely increase in the years ahead.”

—Bryce Christensen, Booklist
