Blink (book)

"Blink" is a book by Malcolm Gladwell that explores the concept of "thin-slicing," which is our ability to make quick decisions using very little information. Gladwell argues that our instinctive judgments can often be more accurate than lengthy analyses. He illustrates this through various examples, such as art experts instantly recognizing a forged painting or professionals anticipating the outcome of a marriage. The book highlights the power of intuition and the factors influencing our snap judgments, while also cautioning against the potential pitfalls of relying solely on these instincts in complex situations.
