I haven't read the Blink yet. I will try to read it in the near future. Thanks for mentioning it.

- prepend 4y agoI think you should try to not read it as it’s bogus. Picking some examples where people made split second decisions that are correct is so silly it’s weird that the book even exists much less is a bestseller. It’s basic premise is that people make split second decisions but never goes into whether these are correct or incorrect. So it boils down to “sometimes people choose right” as it that was somehow novel or useful. He’s a fun storyteller but dangerous when people believe and make decisions based on his writings.
- ghaff 4y agoI remember Tipping Point as being mostly OK. But it really triggered Gladwell's schtick of weaving a well-written entertaining narrative whether or not it's really supported by some cherry-picked anecdotes.
- daveevad 4y agoIf you finish it, you should probably read it again. ;)
- dexterdog 4y agoI think he was making the opposite recommendation.
