When I heard about this book from a friend, I wasnt too sure what kind of a book it was. After a couple of months spotted it in my Library and was tempted to pick it up and I sure am glad I did. Cos I feel this is one book that all of us should read, Now I wouldnt exactly term it as Philosophical , neither would I call it a Self-Help book.
The cover of the book says absolutely nothing about the book, it just says BLINK by Malcolm Gladwell.. And its only when you read the first few pages do you realise how simple and interesting it is..
A book that talks about ’’how in the blink of an eye, we create opinions, make judgements’’ and a book about how at times that judgement is what we must rely and on and at times it deceives us.
The examples and instances given are out of the world and makes you think and wonder about all that happens around you, and from the minute you put the book down you start assessing this concept of ’’blink’’ in everything you do..When you meet someone for the first time, when you go for an interview and are unable to decide, when someone passes a comment about something or someone..
THis is not a concept that is new or unheard of , just that Malcolm seems to have a way of putting it across in such an amazing manner that as you flip through the pages, you nod your head over and over again simply bcos you relate to what he is talking about.
well, dont know what else to say about this awesome book..do read and let me know what you think.
