    About this audiobook

    Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking By Malcolm Gladwell Book Summary Readtrepreneur
    (Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book, but an unofficial summary.)
    Have you experienced those moments when you just know something, but can never seem to explain how you came to know it? Malcolm Gladwell explores our behavior of making decisions in the blink of an eye and it is not as simple as following your gut feeling. Blink reveals to us why "thin-slicing", as compared to having a lot of information about a subject may be the most effective method in making good judgements.
    (Note: This summary is wholly written and published by Readtrepreneur It is not affiliated with the original author in any way)
    "Truly successful decision-making relies on a balance between deliberate and instinctive thinking." - Malcolm Gladwell
    We will look at some of the great failures and successes that resulted when using instinctive thinking and understand why some people are excellent decision-makers, while some are terrible at it. With Blink, we will understand the factors that matter which will help us make the best possible decisions and make good snap judgements.
    P.S. Truly riveting and thought-provoking, we will be one step closer to understanding our complex brains and the decision-making process

      This is an incredible tour de force with detailed research and eye-opening, and often disheartening insights into our flawed personal decision making processes. If read rightly, I believe this will thrust you into a new way of thinking and cause you to strive to develop ways to overcome unintentional biases and even hope to improve when you "trust your gut." Read wrongly, it will either cause frustration and hopelessness or anger and resentment. Gladwell does not give a prescription here. He doesn't provide a blueprint or a roadmap. He educates and leaves it to us to see where in our day to day we might be mind blind or are relying too heavily on data rather than instinct (or vice versa). It is truly up to us to take this information and use it as a lens to examine our own thinking and search to improve how we take what we see and use it to make better choices.

    • 4/5
      The stories within are fascinating and the entire class raved about our favorites and how incredible the processes worked. Really makes you look at the world differently, and it a good way.
    • 5/5
      It shows real-world situations in which having all the information at one's fingertips was actually less useful than working from limited information.
    • 5/5
      The levels of thinking and the power of critical thinking. We all have those moment when we get angry and we're like "oh shit" and now we have the "pride" that we're angry and must continue the act of it. Good listen

      Truly a fantastic read and I feel like I learned a lot about how different types of thinking give us better results in different scenarios.
