With his forthcoming book, Dr. Adam Alter, professor of marketing and the Stansky Teaching Excellence Faculty Fellow at New York University’s Stern School of Business, provides a guide for consumers and organizations to get “unstuck” from the unhelpful emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that prevent them from achieving their full potential. Anatomy of a Breakthrough will be released on May 16, 2023.
