blink (underscore)

OK, so most everybody has a good book recommendation. So here's mine for this sunny June 29 morning. Blink (don't know how to underline, and I am not going to call IT again!) is an excellent book, worth a good read. It is also available on CD (narrated by the author). I think you will find it interesting and helpful. The author is Malcom Gladwell, who also wrote The Tipping Point and Outliers - also excellent. Outliers is currently on the NY Times Best Sellers list.

Blink is about "thinking without thinking", when that process is helpful, and when it can get you into big trouble. I particularly liked the "Warren Harding effect", which has nailed me a few times.
