- Some good points.There are some relevant points in this book. The main point that I gathered from this reading is that our unconscious does some of the thinking for us, and decisions relating to this thinking are some of the best.

- Insights into raceThe people who reviewed this book poorly may not have to deal with race issues. Even though I'm Navajo, Gladwell makes some astute humanitarian and race observations that have whirled around in my head for years. He makes affirmations about my theories of race and our denials of our repressed feelings. I did the test of associating good with African American image, and I even struggled with it. I liked Gladwell's honest approach.
He also exhibits a great writing style. Though I read Blink ... Read More
