Summary

• Blink, the Power of Thinking Without ThinkingThis is the audio book of the regular book, “Blink, the Power of Thinking Without Thinking” by author Malcolm Gladwell. He covers in detail, why you should trust your “instincts”, and what exactly instincts are.

• He tells you how you can use this ability to your advantage, as well as how to avoid some of the pitfalls that are common with “incorrect first impressions”. He goes through great details as to steps we can do to improve this ability.Description of the book from his own words:It’s a book about rapid cognition, about the kind of thinking that happens in a blink of an eye.

• When you meet someone for the first time, or walk into a house you are thinking of buying, or read the first few sentences of a book, your mind takes about two seconds to jump to a series of conclusions.

• Well, “Blink” is a book about those two seconds, because I think those instant conclusions that we reach are really powerful and really important and, occasionally, really good.You could also say that it’s a book about intuition, except that I don’t like that word.

• In fact it never appears in “Blink.” Intuition strikes me as a concept we use to describe emotional reactions, gut feelings–thoughts and impressions that don’t seem entirely rational.
