 Interesting Trivial stories October 23, 2009
Cal Wiemers (Livermore, CA United States)
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is a series of trivial little stores with vast conclusions drawn to fit the authors needs. In short, we often make decisions( quick or not). Some correct and some incorrect. I just can't express my disappointment with this book. I cannot find any conclusions in this book that are not contradicted later. This is not a self help or an improvement book, just stories how decisions affects our lives. The stories are interesting but drawn out so much that you can skip chapters and not miss anything.

 A Great Oh Yeah book!! October 12, 2009
Thomas M. Magee
This book is a real eye opener. It isn't quite like a how to book as the sub title suggests. It is more of a book that explains the brain works. The title suggests is is about how to think. It really focuses on how the brain makes decisions.
The points are very interesting but nothing revolutionary. He goes back several times to the point how the brain needs just enough information. To much information overloads the brains and slows the process. These principles are things you already know and experience but didn't quite realize. After reading the book you will find out why those things happen. Through reading the book your mind will start to work. I am sure the average person will think of things where they could apply the principles. I am sure some people will reap huge rewards from the principles in the book. Most will just be enlightened. Overall it is a real good read.

This is the most interesting book I have ever read. It gives insight on things you never even think about and how and why we do the things we do. It is a must read.
The arguments in this book are so poor that they are funny October 8, 2009

For a book that has received so much acclaim, I'm surprised by the number of logic holes in Malcolm Gladwell's arguments. He is also very verbose and talks about many random things that are unrelated to the topic of the book. The arguments look like obvious attempts to make money by deceiving the general public. By far, one of the poorest books I've read in a long time.
