It's a split second decision
By the time you blink, you'll have missed the opportunity.. and how will you ever know if that was a good decision, if you don't listen to this incredible book?

Fascinating!
Full of insight into the semi-hidden world of judgement and intuition. Absolutely fascinating and well read as usual.
Highly recommended!

good narrator and good story telling
A good book with some interesting life stories to link in to the scientific findings on human behaviour which are the subject matter of the book

Blink, by Malcolm Gladwell
This book is both intriguing and full of contradictions. Just when you think you've got a handle on it, Gladwell turns everything upside down. The research he quotes is absolutely fascinating and has, in many ways, changed the way I see the world. Very informative. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Enjoyable, but goes in an unexpected direction
I enjoyed listening to this. Gladwell interweaves gripping stories with interesting psychological information very effectively. Like another reviewer, however, I was a bit surprised with the direction this took. It started out being about the powers of the unconscious and how experts can make very complicated judgements almost instantaneously. It seemed to promise to tell the reader how to harness the power of the unconsious. But then it swerved much more into exploring how snap judgements can be bad, and ended up being about the nature of prejudice. This was very interesting (possibly more interesting than the direction it had been heading in), but definitely a bit unexpected.

Brilliant
Typically gripping, fascinating and enjoyable from Malcolm Gladwell. I love how he observes and explains subtle but huge and complex issues in an accessible way. Total absorbing.

Fascinating
Loved this, was sure what to expect as you read other peoples reviews and then start forming an opinion before you've even read the book you wanted to read in the first place silly really I know.
Will definitely need a second listen so many interesting points.
Overall really enjoyed this book.
