Blink - Malcolm Gladwell
Snap judgements, instinct, gut feel, first impressions, you have no idea how seriously our unconsious and consious is governed by them.
Don't believe me? Read Gladwell's book! He told me that. Like I needed more support to be impulsive! LOL I've always been that way but now I have scientific backing. One doesnt always need to look for reasons for feeling a certain way about a something or a someone. A 'why?' cannot always be answered...it remains mysteriously hidden from our reasoning powers.
Plenty of examples in the book and test results. First half was interesting and I scanned through the latter part. Not worth buying, better off borrowing like me :)

d) I know its werid and no I dont look like a woman. (PLiss someone save me.)
e) Yeh that guy posting on my blog thinks am a woman..he never asked and I never explained :P
f) okay am a freak magnet.
I agree... snaps judgements are how some of us are and i really like the part where he justifies the way I work. Gladwell just lost it unable to take a stand in the second half... was more like a saga.,.. trying make it 400+ pages!
Read Freakonomics... and other gtreat insightful book
