Blink by Malcolm Gladwell



This book shows that our instincts are sometimes better than our analysis. Gladwell gives evidence that it is sometimes impossible for us to explain adequately the reasons why we come to a particular decision. We are a mystery even to ourselves.

An interesting read, but his prose is not as tight as Bryson's, nor as lyrical as Sharman Apt Russell's.
