Book Description
Publication Date: January 11, 2005
In his landmark bestseller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant-in the blink of an eye-that actually aren’t as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work-in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others?In Blink we meet the psychologist who has learned to predict whether a marriage will last, based on a few minutes of observing a couple; the tennis coach who knows when a player will double-fault before the racket even makes contact with the ball; the antiquities experts who recognize a fake at a glance. Here, too, are great failures of “blink”: the election of Warren Harding; “New Coke”; and the shooting of Amadou Diallo by police. Blink reveals that great decision makers aren’t those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of “thin-slicing”-filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.

Blink: the power of thinking without thinking

“This modern entrepreneur works smart – fewer well-spent hours resulting in (increased) success. Yes it is possible; it just requires a mindset shift. An Entrepreneurial Rockstar’s happiness doesn’t rely solely on financial success. Wealth, from a lifestyle perspective, is highly valued. Rockstar Entrepreneurship offers a holistic approach to business.

These cutting-edge entrepreneurs invest a greater portion of time and energy in pursuing, and maintaining, personal happiness. This is in addition to their focus on business deadlines and the bottom-line.

These modern entrepreneurs favour a collaborative approach, they work/surround themselves with the best people. The focus shifts from being the only to being one of. Relationships are prized and interactions are not valued solely by existing/potential monetary worth. In its simplest form being an Entrepreneurial Rockstar is less about the wallet and more about the soul.”

This guy is amazing. I have been following his career now for over four years. He went from having a dream to running two million dollars company. And he is only 25 years old.

He collaborates with different designers and programmers thousand of miles away, building great web templates and providing top notch customer services.

He is a major inspiration in my entrepreneur pursuit. I am reading his book right now. I feel like such a failure !! In a good way.
