Blink

In Blink,Malcolm Gladwell revolutionizes the way we understand the world within.

Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others areconsistently inept? How do our brains really work in the office, the classroom,the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often thosethat are impossible to explain to others? Blink reveals thatgreat decision makers aren’t those who process the most information or spendthe most time deliberating but those who have perfected the art of“thin-slicing,” filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelmingnumber of variables.

Outliers

In this stunningaudiobook, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through theworld of outliers: the best and the brightest, the most famous and the mostsuccessful.

Along theway he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be agreat soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles thegreatest rock band.
