Malcolm Gladwell, a staff writer for the New York Times, has written another interesting book that tries to explain how we make unconscious decisions. For example, how many interviews do you think employers need in order to make a good hiring decision? Would it surprise you to know that five minutes is really all the time that they need to make an instant decision that is most often correct? Gladwell details a lot of cognitive thinking techniques to explain the elements that help us make split-second decisions, but it is still a very interesting read. If you’re looking for a book to help you learn more about decision-making, this is a great one because while slightly academic in nature, Gladwell has an easy-to-read writing style that gives insight into the whys and hows of snap-judgments.
Great for Adults.

I agree with this recommendation. "Blink" was a very interesting book, and really helped me refine my thought process.
