Think don’t Blink
January 18th, 2006Bob McWhirter pointed me to the book Think! - Why Crucial Decisions can’t be made in a Blink of an Eye.
If bestselling books are advising us to not think, LeGault argues, it comes as no surprise that sharp, incisive reasoning has become a lost art in the daily life of Americans.
He cites things like “America’s growing political polarization, which is a result of our reluctance to think outside our comfort zone.” I have to say there is some truth to this. And I am also happy to see some thinking applied to the Malcolm Gladwellesque hype.
