I love the way this book delves into your unconsciousness and tells you how your brain works. I learned a lot of interesting facts about how humans' brains work and what we do subconsciously.

Tóm tắt: Những quyết định ngay lập tức rất quan trọng, đôi khi nó chuẩn hơi rất nhiều so với hàng tiếng/hàng tháng cân đo đong đếm các chỉ số. Nhưng ở đa số trường hợp, nó k khác gì đoán mò, mà tỉ lệ fail rất cao. Sự khác nhau nằm ở kinh nghiệm và sự rèn luyện chuyên môn, nâng cao khả năng.

Còn rèn luyện như thế nào thì tác giả không nói

This is the second book I've read by Malcolm Gladwell. I find him to be a very convincing writer, and it's sometimes really difficult to remain critical and open-minded. His examples are interesting, and even though I'm not sure I should be believing all the conclusions he reaches, I enjoyed reading this because of all the new things I learned (it led me to do some tests, listen to some new music, look up office chairs on Amazon and watch quite a few Youtube videos that I wouldn't have otherwise watched).

Some interesting ideas and anecdotes, but some troubling conclusions drawn. This could have been a magazine article.

This was a fast read. I am fascinated by how our subconcious finds patterns before we can even articulate them. Great ideas on gut decisions and when to trust our instincts. The downside to these decisions is that they must be made in context and they can expose our subconcious biases.

Tl;dr: Snap judgments are good... except when they're not. Basically a more anecdotal version of Thinking, Fast and Slow. Not a bad book, as I like Gladwell's stories, but I don't really feel like I learned much here.
