Synopsis
Discover the landmark book about the power of first impressions that has revolutionized the way we understand intuition 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 transforms 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., The landmark book that has revolutionized the way we understand leadership and decision making -- from #1 bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell.

- 4***l (27)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseRyland is very customer-oriented and a conscientious seller. After placing my order, I noticed that the shipping cost was more than advertised. When I questioned Ryland re the change, he had no idea why it happened, but he was so apologetic and assured me that he didn't make the change. He then immediately sent me a refund and when I mentioned it was a Christmas gift for my son, offered to ship it to me wrapped! Which I just rec'd, and he did! I would definitely order from Ryland anytime.
