Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking (2005)

Author(s): Gladwell, Malcom

Media Type: Book

Category: Teaching Theory and Psychology

Description\Summary

This book displays how we make snap judgments—about people's intentions, the authenticity of a work of art, even military strategy. Gladwell's conclusion, after studying how people make instant decisions in a wide range of fields from psychology to police work, is that we can make better instant judgments by training our mind and senses to focus on the most relevant facts—and that less input (as long as it's the right input) is better than more.
