Malcolm Gladwell’s New Book: Blink
Just read an excerpt of Malcolm Gladwell's new book 'Blink' (to be published in Jan 2005). Gladwell says that it is a book "about rapid cognition, about the kind of thinking that happens in a blink of an eye." To me it sounds very similar to what Gary Klein has be writing about for years on the power of intuitive decision making. Klein's first book, Sources of Power, describes the 'blink' phenomenon and his recent book, Power of Intuition, describes methods for training for it. Gladwell says he does not like the word "intuition" because of its association with irrationality, but Klein's entire work has been to break the myth of irrationality of intuitive decisions. Guess, I'll have to read Gladwell's book in detail to fully understand his point of view. Can't wait for it to be published!Permalink | Tuesday, December 07, 2004
