Blink -

Book Review: What I learnt in Blink.

We think out in stress situations and take decisions quickly, we use out instinct, our gut feeling and that takes care of multiple of situations and creates opportunities for us to expand our decision making in the right direction. We have no logic for it. No explanation for it. But we just know it.  And we are correct in our instincts.

But we can go wrong. We can fall for our biases. So while we take care of decisions biases are to be watched.

You take Blink decisions when you have too much information. Too much critical inputs coming in. You need experience for this. You need practice for this and you need teamwork for this.

You take normal thought out decisions when you have a single judgement to make. You think it over and weigh the pros and cons.

Sounds contradictory. But it does work.
