This is a terrible review. The book's premise is that experts can make instant decisions--synthesizing inputs and knowledge into intuitions that yield better results than long, painstaking, thoughtful analysis. So if you want to be an expert, learn to trust your instincts. Always go with gut feel. This is clearly wrong, a point espoused by the author of Blink in his commentary as well. The ultimate theme of the narrative is that humans do make decision through habit, and it is clear that this process is often just as beneficial as it is horrendous. The last part of Blink talks about the horrendous consequences of relying on Kahneman's system 1. In particular the death of an unarmed man by over zealous police force.
