"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 thoughtful,
well-developed manner.
