Beskrivning

Discover the landmark book about the power of first impressions that has revolutionized the way we understand intuition and decision making, from #1 bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell.


In his breakthrough bestseller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he transforms the way we understand the world within.

Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant--in the blink of an eye--that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work--in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others?
 
In Blink we meet the psychologist who has learned to predict whether a marriage will last, based on a few minutes of observing a couple; the tennis coach who knows when a player will double-fault before the racket even makes contact with the ball; the antiquities experts who recognize a fake at a glance. Here, too, are great failures of "blink": the election of Warren Harding; "New Coke"; and the shooting of Amadou Diallo by police.
 
Blink reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of "thin-slicing"--filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.

2 recensioner, genomsnitt 5/5

  1. 5/5 Gabriel.C

    Läste ut på någon dag! Denna bok berättar våra vardags val och fördomar vi har pga medier att vårt undermedvetna styr oss mer än vad vi tror. Mycket bra bok igenom och många bra psykologiska exempel om intuitionen hos oss och i det hela att vi ska följa vår egna intuition. Läsvärd 10/10 bästa bok av Malcolm.

  2. 5/5 Mathias R

    Som det mesta av M. Gladwell är denna bok underhållande och tankeväckande.
    Boken som är en faktabok handlar om hur människan har förmågan att "in a blink of an eye" fatta beslut, och vilka konsekvenserna av det. .
    Som underhållsvärde är det en klar 5:a, men frågan är om det är bara underhålla Malcolm vill göra?
