I have never been into nonfiction books, especially ones that does not have a story line. Errr, like a "self help" book like this one is. People kept pushing this book so I gave it a shot. It was extremely interesting. It's about doing things on the spur of the moment, you know...in the "blink of an eye"! See what I did there? heh.
There was one thing that stood out for me. Gladwell was talking about how you act when your heart rate gets to a certain rate. If it is a certain speed then your adrenaline can kick in an help you out with whatever, like lift heavier things, or make you run faster/longer. If your heart rate gets above that then it can actually make your brain act like your are autistic. You can't function well, you don't say things correctly, you stop hearing things or you don't speak, and it impairs your judgment to the extreme. This makes total sense to me and it happens on certain occasions with me even recently. I recommend it. 4 stars.
