Blink The Power of Thinking Without Thinking

I wrote my second book, Blink, and I have in that book a chapter about a very famous, infamous police shooting in New York case of Amadur D'Alo. It was organized around the Sandra Blanc case. The whole thing unfolded over a minute and a half, and I noted that the entire incident took only two seconds.

My guest today is a New York Times bestselling author of books such as Outliers, The Tipping Point, and Blink.

Malcolm, if you want to revisit another book, I'll put Blink aside because Blink is one of my favorites.

The number of people who either supported or loved that book or hated that book because they perceived it as being a book about celebrating snap judgments was limitless.

Did a chapter on that in my book Blink in 2004.

right after publishing my second book Blink, I realized I was spending all my time answering emails and booking travel instead of writing.
