    I didn't grow up as a bookworm, but now I want to read and explore different books that can have a learning effect after reading them. It happened when my brother received a book from his teacher and he just put it everywhere, and I decided to keep and read it. The title is Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking.

    book of Malcolm Gladwell

    It is a second book written by Malcolm Gladwell. If I have a lesson gained from reading that book, it would be that decisions made quickly can be as important as ones made over a long period of time. Sometimes our instincts betray us, and our first impressions and snap judgments can be educated and controlled.

    Who is Malcolm Gladwell

    He employs a variety of techniques, including syntax, style, and other elements, to good effect. In addition to being well-versed in contemporary culture, he has a broad knowledge of history and the Bible, which some of his rivals do not possess.

    Thinking without thinking

    Malcolm Gladwell's book "Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking" centers on the idea that, when supported by a strong foundation of experience and knowledge, quick, instinctive decisions can frequently be just as good as or even superior to deliberate ones. Gladwell examines how intuition and the subconscious mind play a role in making decisions.

    Sometimes I go to our library, which is inside the campus, to read books and to explore different stories from all the books that I read.

    Another message of the book are every decision should be carefully considered as you consider the advantages, disadvantages, ramifications, and all of your options; however, overanalyzing can prevent you from reaching a final decision. It's critical to be able to make a decision quickly after weighing all the options.

    Our unconscious attitudes and prejudices play a deep role in our judgments and rush decisions, hence the title, "the power of thinking without thinking." When you read about how making snap decisions or split second decisions can lead you astray, it can be quite misleading.
    That was the best book I have read, though I am not done reading all the pages in it yet, but I know I can gain a lesson from the book.

    This is all hivers! Thank you so much. I am recommending this book to each of you. Please read it. God bless you and your family. Thank you for reading. See you on my next blog.
