Malcolm Gladwell has written many unusual books-unusual for the perspective of topic. In Blink, The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, Gladwell takes us on a journey of the importance of instincts. First impressions. He explains the evolution of instinctual thinking and gives wonderful examples of first impression versus long, thought-out responses. How did an expert know that a statue was fake when all the research done on it said it was real? Can you tell when marriages are going to survive by the watching interactions for a brief time? What is it about the brain that makes it possible to "know"?
A great read especially if you enjoy learning about the inner workings of our minds.
