Author, journalist, cultural commentator and intellectual adventurer, Malcolm Gladwell was born in 1963 in England to a Jamacian mother and an English mathematician father. He grew up in Canada and graduated with a degree in history from the University of Toronto in 1984. From 1987 to 1996, he was a reporter for the Washington Post, first as a science writer and then as New York City bureau chief. Since 1996, he has been a staff writer for the New Yorker magazine. His curiosity and breadth of interests are shown in New Yorker articles ranging over a wide array of subjects including early childhood development and the flu, not to mention hair dye, shopping and what it takes to be cool. His phenomenal bestseller The Tipping Point captured the world's attention with its theory that a curiosity small change can have unforeseen effects, and the phrase has become part of our language, used by writers, politicians and business people everywhere to describe cultural trends and strange phenomena.
In his landmark bestseller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he 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? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? 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?In Blink we meet the psychologist who has learned to predict whether a marriage will last, based on a few minutes of observing a couple; the tennis coach who knows when a player will double-fault before the racket even makes contact with the ball; the antiquities experts who recognize a fake at a glance. Here, too, are great failures of "blink": the election of Warren Harding; "New Coke"; and the shooting of Amadou Diallo by police. Blink reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of "thin-slicing"-filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.

這本是看Malcolm Gladwell的Tipping Point,Outlier之後的第三本書。還是一如既往的喜愛這位作者。如同作者在Afterwords裏麵說的:“和Tipping Point相比,這本書更像是一個對瞭解人思維的探險式的嘗試……”換句話說,從結構和理論上,這本書有很多粗糙並有待待研磨的部分。但...

評分Blink 這本書講的是人的“瞬間決定”(snap decisions)。作者 Malcolm Gladwell 是紐約人雜誌的記者,顯然這不是一本嚴肅的學術著作。此書的中文譯名,有人譯為《傾覆》,不太對;颱灣譯為《決斷2秒間》,意思是對的但是也不準確:實際上此書作者最喜歡用的一個詞是 milliseco...
評分最近的lie to me播的很火,不知不覺我也追在其中,確實是劇情比較懸疑有點意思,另外更主要的可能是也想透過這個劇對生活有點幫助,起碼ms自己是能夠學會如何通過微錶情來判斷是否說謊的,嗬嗬。錶情其實我們每天都能看得見摸得著,卻很少嚴肅地深入研究一下,於是一旦有人對其...
評分有些人的書,我是看名字就會去買,我相信他們會愛惜自己的羽毛。 比如美國暢銷書作傢馬爾科姆·格拉德韋爾,我是通過《引爆點》認識他的,那本書相當好,導緻我後來把反對他觀點的,支持他觀點的書買瞭一堆。 最近又看瞭他的《決斷2秒間》,內容是講人如何能學會快速決策。 ...

評分The Power of Thinking Without Thinking.
評分Thin-slicing can be great but also be dangerous if not used properly. The take away from this book, we all have all spur at the moment un-concious thinking. Try to develop them as you grow, and use them to find the hidden message.
評分直覺 瞬間決斷都沒什麼,我覺得有意思的是麵部錶情和心理感受關係的那部分,完全就是lie to me 啊
