Advantages: Facts are scientifically proven

Disadvantages: The experiment recorded can be long winded at time

I heard about this book Blink from a clairvoyant. My first impression then was- not another psychic book. Well I was so wrong.

Blink is about trusting your intuition. Its about that first thought you have when you see an object, meet a new person or visit a new place. Malcolm Galdwell is a journalist and his observation and indepth research have led him to uncover the power of intuition.

Blink is not a spiritual book. Malcolm Gladwell 's Blink uses scientific approach to make us realise that our intuition are often hindered or distorted by our environment, influences and beliefs.

In one experiment, two group of people were told to knock at a door in the corridor. Before doing that, one group was given a list of words like anger, annoyance, unhappy, grumpy types of negative words. The second group were given words like happiness, laughter, love, kindness types of positive words. They were each told to knock on the closed door.

When group one knock on the door but received no response for more than 3 minutes, they show impatience, anger and annoyance. The second group gave a positive response when the same was done to them.

Blink is not boring, in fact it is intriguing and its scientifically proven by the several experiments recorded.

Blink teaches me to be more aware of my intuition.
