Publisher Description

FonoLibro se enorgullece en presentar el best-seller del New York Times Blink: El Poder de Pensar, Sin Pensar de Malcolm Gladwell.

En su aclamado bestseller, El Punto Clave, Malcolm Gladwell redefine como entendemos el mundo alrededor de nosotros. Ahora en Blink, Malcolm revoluciona la manera como entendemos al mundo desde adentro. Este es un audiolibro acerca como pensamos, sin pensar; acerca de decisiones que aparentemente se toman en un instante, en el parpadeo de un ojo, no son tan simples como parecen. Como algunas personas son excelentes tomadores de decisiones, y como otras son ineptas? Como algunas personas siguen sus instintos y triunfan, y como otras terminan por equivocarse? Como nuestros cerebros realmente funcionan, en la oficina, en la clase, en la cocina, y en el dormitorio? Porque las mejores decisiones son aquellas que son imposible explicar a otros?

En Blink conoceremos a un psicólogo que ha aprendido a predecir si un matrimonio puede durar con sólo observarles unos minutos; a un entrenador de tenis que sabe cuándo un jugador hará doble falta antes incluso de que la raqueta toque la bola; a un experto en antigüedades que reconoce una falsificación de un solo vistazo.

"Blink, by Malcolm Gladwell, is a book about thin slicing, which is our unconscious being able to find patterns and behavior based on narrow slices of experience. The introduction got me hooked right away: Gladwell wrote about Greek statues that sold for 10 million to the Getty Museum. After much analysis, it was determined that these Greek statues were indeed real, and the statue was bought by the museum. However, when people started to look at the statue in the museum, they thought that something was missing, and Fredrico Zero, an Italian art historian was the first to determine that the statues were fake just by looking at them. Indeed, these statues would later be classified as fake; the analysis that had been done in the beginning was completely wrong. There were similar stories throughout the book: for example, there was a tennis coach who knew someone was going to double fault before the ball was even hit. This book was the first that I had read in the subject of first impressions, and I found it pretty entertaining. However, there were portions of the book that got repetitious and boring. In the end, though, I enjoyed the book and would recommend the book to anyone that was interested in reading it."

    " Gladwell is a great storyteller, but even so, this book could have served its purpose with fewer words. I agree with other reviewers in that Gladwell contradicts himself at times (thinking without thinking is great; thinking without thinking is dangerous), but the book does make a contribution to the field. I wouldn't re-read this, but I'm glad I did the first time. "

    " Interesting listen. I thought he was going to offer tips on how to make use of rapid cognition; there wasn't any of that. Either way, the stories were interesting though, so that made up for it. It is very interesting for non-fiction, that's for sure. Worth the time. "

    " Another good read. Mr. Gladwell does a solid job of showcasing both the good and bad of snap judgements. I especially enjoyed his chapters on thin-slicing marriages and racial profiling. I also thoroughly enjoyed his chapter about Paul Riper. Overall, I feel this a great book. Quite thought provoking indeed. "

    " This book is more or less an investigation on the premise of trusting your first impression. It goes into situations where you can trust your first impression and when it should be doubted. It was pretty interesting. "

    " I fell out of love with this book several times while reading. I did not relate to the anecdotes, rather the stories left me to gleam the theme to determine the lesson on observation and decision making. Maybe I need to read it again. It did not compel me to finish. "
