Great book.
Thin slicing. Helps you to understand your mind a little more without crazy voodoo or witchcraft talk.
Groovinator, it's not like a Silvia brown book where it'll change your life, it has to do with the fine tuning of your subconscious cognitive responses. In other words, don't judge a book by it's cover.
I can't say anything about the book(haven't read it), but I do know [purrfect] is simply full of shit.

Excellent Book! It's really weird cause i knew that "Thin Slicing" was a very powerful tool to know when you're interacting with people or just watching someone. You can really figure out anything about anyone by just picking up all the little subtle things that they do or say. I'm quite good at it right now and i'm so under the radar with it. I pick up every smallest detail and i can pretty much figure out what a person is really thinking or feeling even though they may be trying to convey the opposite. Cause you know sometimes we humans hide our true feeling and identities when it comes to certain situations. It's especially important when you are dealing with clients in business or just figuring out if a certain person has a secret crush on you or even figuring out if a person is being truthful about something. I can figure out even the smallest white lie! Thin Slicing can be used in sooo many ways.

Interesting little read. Maybe I'll pour through Gladwell's previous book because of it.

(Book incerpt)
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 arn'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 office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that impossile to explain to others?
