Two Books by Babson Faculty Earn Accolades

Listen

Two Babson College faculty members earned accolades for their recently published books.

The new book by Associate Professor Rob Cross, the Edward A. Madden Professor of Global Leadership at Babson, was named to Financial Times’ list of business books to read this month. In The Microstress Effect: How Little Things Pile Up and Create Big Problems—and What to Do about It, Cross and co-author Karen Dillon “through deep research, have identified microstress, its cumulative impact and how its effects can be reduced,” writes Financial Times.

Also, Associate Professor Beth Wynstra‘s new book—Vows, Veils, and Masks: The Performance of Marriage in the Plays of Eugene O’Neill—was selected as part of Broadway World’s “27 Theater Books for Your Summer 2023 Reading List.”
