Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
In his #1 bestseller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. In BLINK, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. How do we make decisions--good and bad--and why are some people so much better at it than others? That's the question Malcolm Gladwell asks and answers in BLINK. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology, examining case studies as diverse as speed dating, pop music, and the New Coke, Gladwell shows how the difference between good decision making and bad has nothing to do with how much information we can process quickly, but rather with the few particular details on which we focus. BLINK displays all of the brilliance that has made Malcolm Gladwell's journalism so popular and his books such perennial bestsellers as it reveals how all of us can become better decision makers--in our homes, our offices, and in everyday life. more

blink then think
Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking is Gladwell's book of accurate decisions made rapidly. Gladwell uses examples throughout the book to support his thesis of something he calls "thin-slicing." This term is the snap judgement that crosses a person's mind at a spontaneous moment. The...

Interesting Trivial stories
This book is a series of trivial little stores with vast conclusions drawn to fit the authors needs. In short, we often make decisions( quick or not). Some correct and some incorrect. I just can't express my disappointment with this book. I cannot find any conclusions in this book that are not...

A Great Oh Yeah book!!
This book is a real eye opener. It isn't quite like a how to book as the sub title suggests. It is more of a book that explains the brain works. The title suggests is is about how to think. It really focuses on how the brain makes decisions. The points are very interesting but nothing...

Blink Blink Blink
This is the most interesting book I have ever read. It gives insight on things you never even think about and how and why we do the things we do. It is a must read.

Interesting examples with little to no analysis
First of all, let me say the examples Gladwell provides in the book are fascinating, from the war game general who succeeds despite having far less information to the police officers who misunderstood a situation.However, once he's done presenting the data, he has one short chapter of summary,...

How long before you're opinion of this book is developed?
Very intriguing book. Examines not what we typically call first impressions, but the first moment or so of that first impression. Provides numerous examples of how people's opinions are unconsciously formed in those first few seconds and how we should be aware of, and occasionally control those...

Quality and not just quantity
I am a physician and I have had the privilege of being trained by Dr Reilly at the Cook County Hospital (the chest pain evaluation part of the book).I just want to impress upon the point that Dr Reilly did not teach us that too much information is misleading. What he taught us is to assess the...

Disappointed.............
I felt this book came as a highly rated "Bestseller" but I find I am disappointed. While I haven't completely finished the book yet it seems to contain several very long descriptive stories of how people behave according to their preconceived ideas. An interesting phenomena, but it gets beaten...

your brain: the missing manual
As always, Gladwell's a fast and rewarding read. The first 20 pages are absolutely essential to anyone who makes decisions. The rest of the book is for those who need to make them well, defend them, and live with the consequences.
