Blink - by Malcolm Gladwell

A fascinating book. It is about our innate ability to arrive at conclusions instinctively, using our subconscious more quickly and effectively than conscious thought. The book is not about neuroscience - more applied psychology. It his full of stories and examples that illustrate the author's points perfectly. I learned a lot about how my brain works. It explained many of my own experiences. A spin off was the clearest description of what autism is all about. Some of the ideas are a little complex, which makes it a slightly demanding read, but it is well written enough to keep the pages turning.
