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.
書中描述的是一種直覺的判斷力。身處於資訊爆炸的時代,周圍的豐富資訊如排山倒海而來,往往掩沒了事件真實的面目。但是人們卻有一種不自覺的瞬間判斷(snap judgment)與快速認知(rapid cognition)的方式,作者稱之為「薄片擷取」(thin-slicing)。他認為,「生活當中壓力沈重的...
评分原以为这本书像它的副标题那样,是阐述如何通过训练掌握Blink的能力..... 结果,只是一大堆资料的堆砌。 整本书仅仅告诉了我们以下几个观点: 1.Blink是存在的 2.有时候,Blink可以有很高的正确率 3.Blink也会蒙蔽我们的双眼,偏见产生了 4.解读他人的思想存在一套技巧 但是...
评分过去总遇到这么一个有趣的现象:大家被问起理想中会喜欢的对象,回答往往与现实里真正会喜欢的人大相径庭。过去我习惯归因为理想和现实总有差距。可当看多了越言之凿凿头头是道,现实对象越容易跑偏的现象,就不禁会想问:只是一个理想和现实的差距,那对应的陈述为什么会和实...

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.
评分The theory of thin slicing is good. But the book is trying too hard to dramatize that. And the illustrations at some point are not convincing enough. Not very recommendable.
评分直觉要准,一是排除干扰,二是厚积薄发。
评分unconscious thinking. 帮助我们认识到下潜在的一些bias。事实的确也是这样发生的:kouros什么都对but就是有些不对;通过thin slice夫妻的表情预测是否可以白头;snap decision;Pual Van Riper有时候多余的信息反倒使我们做了错误的决定;并不是每个人都像真的专家一样可以意识到细微的差别;mind reading。读者还是很客观的。Blink也可以理解为understanding。现实还是需要在combine rational analysis之后再做出instinctive judgement。when wife asks for credit the doomed divorce spouse wouldn't give it
评分其实.我没有看懂.
