Read by the author.
Utilizing case studies as diverse as speed dating, pop music, and the shooting of Amadou Diallo, Gladwell reveals that what we think of as decisions made in the blink of an eye are much more complicated than assumed. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology, he shows how the difference between good decision-making and bad has nothing to do with how much information we can process quickly, but on the few particular details on which we focus.

Why Do we Do It? submitted by Judeyblu on August 21, 2015, 7:14am and how do we know it?
The story of the radar technician that wasn't afraid to make a decision, even though he couldn't explain it, has replayed in my mind.
How do we know what we know?
An interesting look into the way we think and make decisions.

Very interesting book submitted by Cherrytreelane on July 29, 2018, 11:19pm Audio production also very well done. Malcolm Gladwell really does his research and looks at phenomena from new and different angles so we're always learning new things when we read/listen to his books. Time well spent!
