Blink by Malcolm Gladwell

There are times we spend months on a decision that could have been made instantly intuitively. When taking an exam chances are that your gut instinct is right. Often when we second-guess ourselves we are wrong. Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink explores various situations in which the gut instinct takes over. Although he stresses that a majority of the time our first reaction is right, he also gives examples of how our instincts can be the product of media. Blink is a compelling novel that tells you the reasons behind your gut reaction, and suggests that you should listen to it once in a while.
