Book 49 - Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, by Malcolm Gladwell

This book has been all the rage on the non-fiction bestseller list throughout the year. Malcolm Gladwell broke through a couple of years back with The Tipping Point, and this follow-up examines how frequently it is that first impressions tend to stick with us - and oftentimes, they're correct. There are a lot of pretty interesting discussion topics, and the book is never boring for a minute. With that said, I don't completely buy into the premise, but I do think there's some value in having awareness of the ways our consciousness works.
