blink: Introduction

     From what I've read so far, blink by Malcolm Gladwell is sizing up to be an interesting and enjoyable read. I didn't get a chance to view Malcolm's TED talk, but I always enjoy books that are more didactic, as I can take away something from the book in addition to learning about something astounding, and judging from the introduction, blink looks like it will be one of those kinds of books. What I'm particularly interested in is how we I can cultivate my "adaptive unconscious" and make better instinctive judgments. And I feel like a book like this has the capacity to change the way I live and conduct myself, for the better, by making me look at my intuitive decisions more carefully. All in all, I am very excited to continue reading this book.
