Blink stinks...
I've never seen a more transparent effort to cash in. This is a (really) dumbed down psych lite book about nothing. At times, Gladwell's effort to make a strong point in confusing (I suspect there is no point). At other times, he provides mini-overviews of the examples discussed in the book in case we couldn't remember them...There is nothing interesting and nothing to gain from Gladwell's flimsy theory about "thinking without thinking." If you're interested in the thesis "the power of thinking without thinking is so strong unless it's a situation where regular thinking is required," buy the book. Because that's all there is to it.
