{"product_id":"blink-malcolm-gladwell-9780316172325","title":"Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom the #1 bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Bomber Mafia, \u003c\/i\u003ethe landmark book that has revolutionized the way we understand leadership and decision making.\u003c\/b\u003e In his breakthrough bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe Tipping Point\u003c\/i\u003e, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in \u003ci\u003eBlink\u003c\/i\u003e, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. \u003ci\u003eBlink\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eBlink\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eBlink\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Malcolm Gladwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0316172324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316172325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Brown and Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.18h x 5.62w x 1.06d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 13\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e88713 \/ Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Issues Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2005 pg. 23\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2004 pg. 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2004 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2004 pg. 948\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Issues Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2004 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2004 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2004 pg. 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2004 pg. 25\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/14\/2005 pg. 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/10\/2005 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/16\/2005 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/30\/2005 pg. 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/16\/2007 pg. 68","brand":"Malcolm Gladwell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44049981604095,"sku":"9780316172325","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e34d32ba-b605-46e9-916b-0179b6d8ce1b.jpg?v=1685004508","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blink-malcolm-gladwell-9780316172325","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
