About this product

Product Information

The landmark book that has revolutionized the way we understand leadership and decision making -- from #1 bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell. In his breakthrough bestseller The Tipping Point , Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink , he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant--in the blink of an eye--that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work--in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others? In Blink we meet the psychologist who has learned to predict whether a marriage will last, based on a few minutes of observing a couple; the tennis coach who knows when a player will double-fault before the racket even makes contact with the ball; the antiquities experts who recognize a fake at a glance. Here, too, are great failures of "blink" the election of Warren Harding; "New Coke"; and the shooting of Amadou Diallo by police. Blink reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of "thin-slicing"--filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.

  • Malcom Gladwell's Blink is a fast, superb read!

    "Blink: The Power of Thinking without Thinking" is Malcom Gladwell's challenge for readers and society to follow intuition and glance. Gladwell cleverly and powerfully outlines the power of snap judgments - the key, as he puts it, is to analyze behaviors and situations using "thin slices" and "adaptive unconsciousness". The struggle is simple and prevalent in business, life, relationships etc - simply put, people tend to over analyze and over think. Though this is a natural inclination, it is dangerous and time-consuming. Gladwell challenges us to act differently - but training ourselves and our surrounding to quickly adapt and interpret. But unlike most self-help books, Gladwell doesn't begin and end with a challenge - he walks readers through the need, the solution, etc - all in a ...
