Review: 4/5: A well written, short, and interesting book by Gladwell (with LOTS of real-life stories) - I bought this on the recommendation of a friend, but i'm a little shocked to see such criticism of Gladwell's work in the reviews on desertcart. In my opinion, Gladwell writes exceedingly well and puts across his points with entertaining and interesting examples. At 250 pages, it doesn't drag on too much. It confronts you with the main points, and the examples, and then moves the narrative along. I do understand some of the criticism leveled at this book though: it seems to switch between telling you that leveraging your intuition MORE is going to leave you better off, then progresses onto examples where doing exactly that is worse! As a researcher with some knowledge of half or more of these concepts already, I do think Gladwell could have done a far better job of bringing together the points he was making and offering some practical, grounded advice. Even if that was, as it would have likely been, a middle-ground approach - where intuitive and rational thinking need to be balanced and weighted differently depending on the context - it would have been nice to at least have some part of this work that brought it all together. Despite these criticisms, i'd still recommend this to friends or family as it's a short read which offers interesting stories and grounding in academic literature. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0141014598 | | Best Sellers Rank | 16,583 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 80 in Psychological Schools of Thought 170 in Scientific Psychology & Psychiatry 195 in Higher Education of Biological Sciences | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (12,877) | | Dimensions | 12.9 x 1.7 x 19.9 cm | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 9780141014593 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0141014593 | | Item weight | 227 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 304 pages | | Publication date | 23 Feb. 2006 | | Publisher | Penguin | ## Images ![Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wdCn9ap7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Malcolm Gladwell's exploration of the subconscious mind *by B***N on 3 September 2024* Blink is another thought-provoking book by Malcolm Gladwell that examines the power of our subconscious minds to make quick and accurate judgments.

Written in anecdotal style, Gladwell illustrates his points simply without academic jargon, the very first Chapter which is only 5 pages long has you gripped. Spotting which relationships will fail, wanting something so badly that you make the decision fit your desire, unconscious bias … and so on. I have given this book as a gift several times. ## Frequently Bought Together - Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking - The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference - Outliers: The Story of Success --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/51013971-blink-the-power-of-thinking-without-thinking](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/51013971-blink-the-power-of-thinking-without-thinking) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
