Gladwell is able to take complex situations and reduce them to ideas and concepts that cut through the complexity to reveal an incredibly simple structure. And, it’s that structure that becomes the focus for not only wading through but ultimately being able to understand what’s “really” going on.
He revealed that ability with his first book, The Tipping Point and carried it through in writing blink.
In trying to understand what blink is about Gladwell explains it best:
“It’s a book about rapid cognition, about the kind of thinking that happens in the blink of an eye. When you meet someone for the first time, or walk into a house you are thinking of buying, or read the first few sentences of a book, your mind takes about two seconds to jump to a series of conclusions. Well, Blink is a book about those two seconds, because I think those instant conclusions that we reach are really powerful and really important and, occasionally, really good.”
We’re taught early on that the right way to make a decision is to gather as much information as possible and carefully weigh all the pros and cons. But sometimes, there just isn’t enough time or information. Other times there’s just too much of it. Those are the kinds of situations blink is about; situations like war, street shootings and dealing with things that appear to be something they are not.
Gladwell’s approach is lucid and satisfying. His style is conversational and avuncular.
The subject is serious but the read is comfortable and easy. And, when you finish it you truly will have learned something valuable and useful.
Read blink and I promise you won’t be disappointed or sorry you did.
