Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking

This is a wonderful book that I'd been meaning to read for a long time. It's a nonfiction book that had been recommended by Kenn, and a great selling and well reviewed book to boot. The book is about how people can use their subconscious to make decisions that have yielded important information that seems almost like telling the future or reading someone's mind. The break down of people's expressions and actions to their true meanings is very interesting, and would be something useful to study (except for the fact that it might be a lifetime's worth of work). By "thin-slicing," one can determine the true relationship between two people or a true person's reaction to something before they can cover it up consciously. It's all very interesting, and I recommend it to everyone. I'll eventually read The Tipping Point by the same author, a similar type book.
