Blink: The Power Of Thinking Without Thinking

"Fiendishly clever' Evening Standard 'Provocative, fascinating, radical."  -  Fergal Byrne, Financial Times

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? 

"Trust my snap judgement, buy this book: you'll be delighted."  -  David Brooks, The New York Times 

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.
