Don’t Blink, You Might Miss Something … Momentary Autism

Malcolm Gladwell, reporter and author of Tipping Point and now Blink:  The Power ofThinking Without Thinking, is becoming an accidental guru, according to Danielle Sacks.  Gladwell wisely points out those judgments seen as ‘snap judgments’ are actually more complicated than they initially appear.

In today’s society of instant communication and instant news, we need to examine how ‘we think about thinking.’  Gladwell has become a business guru by succinctly explaining how first impressions “affect decision making.”

Before you start to count those dollar signs as a writer, Malcolm Gladwell reminds you that even a bestselling author’s book is read by “less than 1% of the American public.”

Food for thought.

Hear Malcolm Gladwell and other speakers at the annual South By Southwest Conference in Austin, Texas.  See hundreds of international speakers pontificate on a variety of topics, and hear hundreds of world-renowned bands, on stages in the heart of Texas.   Shine your cowboy boots and grab your hat, YeeHaw!
