BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Blink is author Malcolm Gladwell’s follow-up to the book that put him on the map — The Tipping Point — which was about how small ideas morphed into big trends. With his follow-up title, “Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking”, Gladwell takes a more psychological approach towards his writing, with a focus on Rapid Cognition—aka: quick thinking; or thinking without thinking. A large part of the book is based on research about the “adaptive unconscious” — a part of the brain that helps us make good decisions without realizing that we’re even making them. Blink is about the decisions that seem to be made on a whim, but in actuality, are nowhere near as simple as they seem. Why are some people so great at making decisions, while others are paralyzingly indecisive? Why do some folks possess a consistently reliable instinct or intuition, while others almost always seem to be off the mark? What *really* makes us tick at work, at home, and in our relationships? And why is it that sometimes, the best decisions we make — both in life and in business — are almost impossible to explain to others? In Blink, Gladwell dives into all of the above — masterfully combining science and story to get us thinking about our lives from a new and different perspective.
