I enjoy reading Malcolm Gladwell's books, not because they are particularly well argued or even remotely scientifically valid, but his anecdotes are extremely interesting and well woven into a nice narrative.

Fascinating insight into the perceptions and awareness. His stories and anecdotes go a long way to supporting his theories, as well as entertaining the reader along the way.

An interesting book that brings up some valid points about intuition and 'gut reactions'. It seems that there might be more to our initial reactions than we may have originally thought!

I picked this book with a lot of hope & enthusiasm,but it isn't able to stand to its reputation.I could not able to relate much the ideas evinced by Malcolm Gladwell. Though he corroborated his ideas with much proof,example & research,but it isn't sound much pragmatic to real world.And, another point to practice some kind of "snap judgement" & believe to it, is altogether a different notion.May be most of the reader are going to conceive it as a good idea,but while going through daily circumstances they always run after the facts & figures.

Another excellent read by this author. Didn’t know what I was missing and will now check out his first book ‚Tipping Point‘. Blink is all about how instant decisions weigh against well thought out ones. It‘s about unconscious bias, it effects on different events throughout history and how it can shape our decisions today.
