Talk:Blink (book)

I've rewritten the entire thing. It didn't have enough detail. --Shreshth91 (eshtshray). 1 July 2005 04:41 (UTC)

Should the info on Think be in this article? This article is about Blink not Think. I suggest someone make a new article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 154.20.161.143 (talk • contribs) .

Done. Moved to Think (book).--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|) 16:57, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Criticism needs to be added. I was thinking of Steve Sailer's and Judge Posner's criticisms, which Gladwell tries to adress here, http://www.gladwell.com/blink/biblio/chapter3.html . Sailer summarizes Blink thus: But as far as I can tell, his book reduces to two messages:

Go with your gut reactions, but only when they are right. 

And even when your gut reactions are factually correct, ignore them when they are politically incorrect.
