Summary

 Intuition is not some magical property that arises unbidden from the depths of our mind. It is a product of long hours and intelligent design, of meaningful work environments, and particular rules and principles. This audiobook shows us how we can hone our instinctive ability to know in an instant, helping us to bring out the best in our thinking and become better decision-makers in our homes, offices, and in everyday life. Just as he did with his revolutionary theory of the tipping point, Gladwell reveals how the power of blink could fundamentally transform our relationships - the way we consume, create and communicate, how we run our businesses, and even our societies. You'll never think about thinking in the same way again.©2005 Malcolm Gladwell; (P)2005 Hachette Audio Career Success Decision-Making & Problem Solving Personal Development Personal Success Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Social Psychology & Interactions Career Inspiring Leadership Business

Critic reviews

"Malcolm Gladwell goes deep into the reliability of hunches, instinct and instant, apparently irrational understandings. It appears that they are all aspects of an important survival mechanism, the one that makes us jump the right way when we stumble jay-walking as a lorry hurtles towards us. Full of fascinating theories about how science can be duped more often than our unsonscious minds can, Gladwell ranges from art fakes and gambling to marriages in jeopady and job interviews. I was instantly convinced." ( The Times)
"Brilliant." ( Observer)
"Astonishing." ( Daily Mail)
"Compelling." ( Evening Standard)

I really liked the book because it made me think about how I trust my gut feelings most of the time, and it usually works out fine. But I understand that in really important situations, just trusting my gut might not be the best idea. Gladwell's book is interesting because it shows how our experiences and biases affect our quick decisions. It's a reminder to pay attention to these things when making decisions.
Overall, "Blink" is a good book that makes you rethink how you make decisions every day. It shows that sometimes our instincts are smarter than we give them credit for.
