Blink: the power of thinking without thinking by Malcolm Gladwell

 First sentence:

"In September of 1983, an art dealer by the name of Gianfranco Becchina approached the J. Paul Getty Museum in California."

Description:

"Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology to reveal that the difference between good decision-making and bad has less to do with how much information we process than with our ability to focus on a few particular details. Gladwell shows how we can all be better decision makers -- in our homes, in our offices, and in everyday life." -- from the back cover

My thoughts:

Fascinating book about how we observe the world - often without conscious thought and how it's important to step back and understand what's happening.
