Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking

$16.00 CAD

pp. 277, “Have you ever wondered why love at first sight, so seemingly ill-advised, sometimes works out for the long-term? Malcolm Gladwell may have the answer. In BLINK, Gladwell asserts that snap judgments can quite often be as good as decisions made cautiously and deliberately. Using a wide variety of examples–an ex-Marine’s victory in a war-game simulation, a museum’s purchase of a bogus statue, an emergency room’s method for diagnosing heart attacks–Gladwell asks us to step back from overly analytical decision-making and trust our instincts and experience. Like his previous work, THE TIPPING POINT, BLINK is a thought-provoking, category-defying book.”
