      Malcolm Gladwell.

      Erin Balser · CBC Books · Posted: Jun 26, 2018 1:01 PM ET | Last Updated: June 26, 2018

      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? (From Back Bay Books)
