Extremely engaging and has a series of experiments, encounters, real life situations along with supportive theory behind how the human mind does a lot in a very short span of time. Gladwell has balanced the subject quite well appealing to both sides of the coin – things can be accurate in a blink as well as disastrously false. This was something I liked the most – although at one point it leaves you confusing as to what is being achieved. Fact is, the complexity of the subject leaves little to having a straight line define everything.
One of the best takeaways was that it is extremely essential to train yourself for extreme situations by subjecting yourself to such situations time and again. That trains different parts of your brain and nervous system to not lose control on the highly cognitive processes in emergent situations.
I’d highly recommend reading it in case you are even slightly interested in Psychology.
This is one of those books that is still unread in my book shelf. Tried to read this more than a couple of times and gave up.
