But what if we could skip the long process of rigorous evaluation? Harness the power of intuitive thinking, and discover techniques that will allow you to instinctively arrive at the right decisions. Humans use their power of instinctive thinking to make thousands of tiny decisions every day, from what route to take to work to how to make a cup of tea in the morning.

An art expert sees a ten-million-dollar sculpture and in a flash realizes it is fake. A fire- fighter makes a split-second decision to get out of a blazing building just before it collapses. A marriage analyst studies a fifteen-minute video of a couple and accurately predicts whether they will stay together. A police officer reads a life-or-death situation in the heat of the moment. A speed dater suddenly clicks with the right person . . . Blink is all about those moments when we 'know' something without really knowing why, and how this ability is one of the most powerful we possess. A snap judgement made very quickly, Malcolm Gladwell reveals, can actually be far more effective than one made deliberately and cautiously. By blocking out what's irrelevant and focusing on narrow slices of experience, we can read a seemingly complex situation in the blink of an eye - and discover a radically new way of understanding the world.

THE TIPPING POINT is the biography of an idea, and the idea is quite simple. It is that many of the problems we face - from crime to teenage delinquency to traffic jams - behave like epidemics. They aren''t linear phenomena in the sense that they steadily and predictably change according to the level of effort brought to bear against them. They are capable of sudden and dramatic changes in direction. Years of well-intentioned intervention may have no impact at all, yet the right intervention - at just the right time - can start a cascade of change. Many of the social ills that face us today, in other words, are as inherently volatile as the epidemics that periodically sweep through the human population: little things can cause them to ''tip'' at any time and if we want to understand how to confront and solve them we have to understand what those ''Tipping Points'' are. In this revolutionary new study, Malcolm Gladwell explores the ramifications of this. Not simply for politicians and policy-makers, his method provides a new way of viewing everyday experience and enables us to develop strategies for everything from raising a child to running a company.

The Tipping Point is that magical moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire.
