Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking is nonfiction
Ever wonder about the secret force that helps us make split-second decisions? Why we don't always trust it and why the outcome can either help a high-risk situation or blow it out of proportion? Blink is a book written by Malcolm Gladwell to answer these mysteries. It is a series of short stories that show how subconscious judgments can either be affected by the past or by someone's experience. For instance, one story is about a tennis coach that can tell when a player is going to foul before they even serve the ball. Another story is about a shooting because of the poor judgment of a police officer in the Bronx. If you liked Outliers, then you are going to enjoy this book written by Gladwell as well.
