Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking...

An excellent read, fascinating how the mind works subconsciously

I ordered very good condition, and half the pages are written on in pen

I ordered it as very good condition but actually it was barely terrible! Did not like it.

Gave it a 4 star because at times the points were somewhat redundant. However, I've read a lot of good reviews on this author and cannot wait to get my hands on some of his other work.

No exception to other great books by Malcolm Gladwell. Excellent.

Blink is a " must read " about the power and accuracy of our first impressions and intuitions about people and events. Malcolm Gladwell skillfully presents several case studies that inspire me to recognize my own intuitive talent and also to notice my tendencies to dismiss my intuitive knowing in favor of analysis and self-doubt. He cleverly examines stereotyping and predjudice, and demonstrates how this influences and distorts our intuition. As a result of this book, I feel more confident and freer to express myself spontaneously! Tuning in to my first impressions is fun and actually gives me a greater sense of well-being and living in the moment, wow! Another great source of well-being and Instantaneous Transformation is Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment by Ariel and Shya Kane. This lovely anthology gives me a window into living with ease and transforms everyday circumstances into life giving opportunities. I can experience enlightenment now! Without any complicated discipline, Guru, or hoops to jump through. Thanks to the Kanes and Gladwell for giving us modern day access to a truly satisfying life.

Un libro diferente, que aunque trata de investigaciones científicas resulta muy ameno y fácil de leer. Muy bien escrito. Absolutamente recomendable.
