Book Review: blink



A fun read, and a must-read!

I admit to seeing this book around and purposefully not picking it up. It seemed to be everywhere, and I didn't want to fall prey to the hype.

Blink was referenced in 50 Psychology Classics (still reading and yet to be reviewed...), and I was intrigued.

The premise of the book is that choices that we make in an instant may be more right-on and sophisticated than previously thought. The author provides us with lots of information on the brain, current research, and real-life examples of people who know how to focus on "thin slices" of information when reading a person or a situation.

Fascinating!
