Book Review of Blink : The Power of Thinking Without Thinking

Blink : The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
Helpful Score: 1


This book ventures into several fascinating areas of research. From experts at reading facial expressions to the power of suggestion and why initial impressions can be accurate or how they can fool us. One of my favorite things was the Implicit Association Test (IAT), that exposes preconceptions you may not realize you have. The test in the book has to do with male and female, but it also gives the implicit.harvard.edu website for further tests you can take. It also gives some insight into autistic minds and how they differ in their ability to read nonverbal cues and things we do automatically. Packed with many interesting tidbits of knowledge. I read it in one sitting.
