Gladwell writes about a part of the brain (but I think he means mind) called the “adaptive unconscious,” which sometimes allows us to make snap decisions “every bit as good as decisions made cautiously and deliberately.” He cites the example of the Getty Museum’s purchase of what appeared to be an ancient Greek kouros (a sculpture of a nude male) for almost $10 million. However in Blink, the basic hypothesis – that split-second judgments are usually trustworthy – seems even more unsupported, if that is possible. My reaction to Gladwell’s Blink is similar to my wife’s reaction to his earlier book, Outliers – Gladwell is willing to twist the facts of any situation to fit into his hypotheses.
