I just finished the book Blink, The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
by Malcolm Gladwell.

A few important lessons here:

• Truly successful decision making relies on a good balance between deliberate thinking and instinctive thinking.
• Don’t make important decision when you have a high heart rate. Once above a certain point the brain just shuts down the parts that make you smart.
• Prejudice influences the perception of quality more than we might think.
• There can be as much value in the blink of an eye as in months of rational analysis.

This is more than a really clever look on what goes on in the mind when we make decisions. I love it.

The book is very well-wrought, interesting and a smooth read. I’m sure everyone can finish this book in a few evenings if they want to.

My Score: 9/10

I’ll be writing about project management related stuff. About 90% of the posts will be short and should appeal to PMs or people working with people in a business context.

The blog is kept very low profile at the moment. Expect posts once a week.

Do mind that the RSS feed URL may change in the coming few days.
