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.
Blink 这本书讲的是人的“瞬间决定”(snap decisions)。作者 Malcolm Gladwell 是纽约人杂志的记者,显然这不是一本严肃的学术著作。此书的中文译名,有人译为《倾覆》,不太对;台湾译为《决断2秒间》,意思是对的但是也不准确:实际上此书作者最喜欢用的一个词是 milliseco...
评分刚才吃饭,我偷听了邻座夫妻的谈话。我判断:1、他们会离婚,2、男的最近感冒比较多。听起来信口开河,但我的判断相当靠谱,通过几分钟的偷听,我对他们婚姻关系的了解可能超过他们的密友,甚至超过他们自己。这就是《眨眼之间》企图揭示的奥秘——直觉的力量。 一、潜意识秘...
评分最近的lie to me播的很火,不知不觉我也追在其中,确实是剧情比较悬疑有点意思,另外更主要的可能是也想透过这个剧对生活有点帮助,起码ms自己是能够学会如何通过微表情来判断是否说谎的,呵呵。表情其实我们每天都能看得见摸得着,却很少严肃地深入研究一下,于是一旦有人对其...
评分我们不妨从三个问题开始来了解这本书。 1、 人是否有在信息不足的情况下快速、准确判断事物的能力? 2、 如果有,如何习得、利用这种能力? 3、 这种快速判断有没有弊端?如何避免? 第一个问题是肯定的。即使不用书中举例子我们也知道有些人有窥一斑而知全豹的能力,他们总...

评分第100本本应该是《呼兰河传》的
评分Full of trivia, very readable...
评分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.
