I’m reading blink, right, and now I notice a book called Th!nk, the inside flap of which says:
"Outraged by the downward spiral of American intellect and culture, Michael R. LeGault offers the flip side of Malcolm Gladwell’s best-selling phenomenon, blink, which theorized that our best decision-making is done on impulse, without factual knowledge or critical analysis. If best-selling books are advising us to not think, LeGault argues, it comes as no surprise that sharp, incisive reasoning has become a lost art in the daily life of Americans. Somewhere along the line, the Age of Reason morphed into the Age of Emotion; this systemic erosion is costing time, money, jobs, and lives in the twenty-first century, leading to less fulfillment and growing dysfunction."
Well, that ought to give us something to read over the holiday weekend.
