In Blink, bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant ¯in the blink of an eye¯ that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? How do our brains really work - in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others?

Una buena presentación de Gladwell,

This review is from: Blink: Inteligencia intuitiva, Por que sabemos la sabemos la verdad en dos segundos (Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking) (Paperback)
Este fue el primer libro que leí de Malcolm Gladwell, que finalmente me hizo comprar tres más de sus libros.
Independiente de la historia, creo que la forma en que las cuenta y los condimentos que agregan marcan sus estilo. En lo personal, no disfruto de las novelas. Son los libros que plantean una hipótesis para ir alimentándola mientras desarrolla historias paralelas, que se cruzan y contribuyen a la conclusión final los que me cautivan. Blink es uno de esos libros.

Un libro diferente, que aunque trata de investigaciones científicas resulta muy ameno y fácil de leer. Muy bien escrito. Absolutamente recomendable.
