BOOK OF THE WEEK REVIEW!! Blink By Malcolm Gladwell

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking was pretty cool if I must say so :) It was kind of like reading a text book but one that was fun to follow and even better not an assignment. Like Freakonomics, Blink has a fun way of giving you insight on everyday decision making and the effects that they have on everyday life. A book about first impressions and split second judgements Gladwell keeps you interested with his story telling of true events that argue for instincts over information. In some cases going with your gut is the best option (but not always) you will have to pick this book up to see what I mean. I have his first book Tipping point as well and will be reading that in weeks to come.
I definitely recommend Malcolm Gladwell's Blink and seeing that I will be reading a lot of text books now as I am back in summer courses I can only hope that they are half as interesting as Gladwell's writing.

Any questions or comments like always... hit me up... don't be shy ;)
