Blink

The book Blink by Malcolm Gladwell is a nice one.

Gripping. Makes one introspect a lot. Definitely more readable and attention holding than Freakonomics. The attention span kind of weakens at times during the latter.

Brings in some interesting vocabulary such as "Warren Harding Error"(I liked this), "Momentary Autism", "Thin Slicing"(Very interesting concept, i laugh when i now tell that "we need the complete information to make a decision"). Kind of hardens the idea that first impressions mean a lot and a lot of well meaning information makes no sense.(Classic Coke Case).Tells me that luck is a huge factor and that experts may be knowledgable but can't be trusted to take your decisions for you. Takes me back to Mr Gautam Thapar's speech when he panned the "consultants". Taking responsibility, initiative and putting your ass on the line is the only way out.
