For those that like to research outside the forums I can attest to the value of reading books. Although there are not many great books on hair transplantation itself available I have read the ones that are out there except for the $400 one ¦ ¦ ¦..lol ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦. but there are dozens and dozens that are related that I would consider to actually be of more benefit.
Always best to actually meet other patients and speak with them as nothing else compares. In fact I received an excellent book recommendation from a patient I met in Brussels during one of my procedures. We went out for coffee and chatted for about 2-3 hours. That is how it is when you meet other patients you seem to have this incredible bond because of a unique experience. His recommendation was Daniel Kahneman s Think Fast, Think Slow. I did find it a difficult read requiring 2 passes but valuable information for sure.
A very recent book that I think all hair transplant patient should read is
Predictably Irrational The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions by Dan Ariely.
It s a very easy read with great insight into how sometimes the mind really works during the decision making process and I highly recommend it to others considering hair transplantation.
From the back Cover
In this newly revised and expanded edition of the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller, Dan Ariely refutes the common assumption that we behave in fundamentally rational ways. From drinking coffee to losing weight, from buying a car to choosing a romantic partner, we consistently overpay, underestimate, and procrastinate. Yet these misguided behaviors are neither random nor senseless. They're systematic and predictable making us predictably irrational.
A 2[sup]nd[/sup] recent read of lesser value in my opinion would be
Herd How to Change Mass Behavior By Harnessing Our True Nature by M Earls
From the back cover
HERD explains that most of us have misunderstood the mechanics (the how ) of mass behaviour because our thinking is shaped by misplaced notions of what it means to be human. This is why so many government initiatives struggle to create real change, why so much marketing money fails to drive sales, why most M&A programmes end up reducing shareholder value and most internal change projects don t deliver lasting transformation.
Mark Earls uses a diverse range of different sources, anecdotes and evidence from the comic Peter Kay and urinal etiquette, to international rugby and the rise of new musical stars to show that we are at heart a we-species , but one suffering from the illusion of I . In doing so, Earls challenges some of our deepest ideas to reveal the truth about who we are and what marketers, managers and governments can do to set about influencing mass behaviour. Bold in its conception and engaging in its execution, HERD offers the most radical new theory of consumer behaviour in a generation.
