Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking

For my second  quarter SSR book I decided to read Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking which is a nonfiction book that explores the way people ultimately think and what brings people to make the decisions they do. In this book there isn't really any main character other than the author himself, Malcom Gladwell who talks to the reader directly sharing real life stories that help prove a point about the way we think and human intuition. Malcom Gladwell is a highly intellectual person that effectively explains the ideas of "thin slicing", or the idea of "the locked door". He explains to the reader about "the locked door" theory which is basically the theory that explains why most of us humans cannot explain the way our subconscious works. Gladwell is someone who is interested in the way humans think and why we think the way we do, our subconscious and intuitive way of thinking which makes me connect with him. The different theories and ideas he throws at the reader will really change the way you perceive the decisions you make in your daily life.
