"Blink" isn't just a book; it's an eye-opener into the split-second decisions we all make without realizing. If you've ever second-guessed your instincts or felt overwhelmed by too much information, Malcolm Gladwell offers a compelling dive into how our brains work wonders with the bare minimum. Think of it as decluttering for your decision-making process, with a mix of anecdotes and research that might just change how you trust your gut.
