Having immensely enjoyed The Tipping Point
by Malcolm Gladwell it was a no-brainer to also pick up Blink
, but I found this book to be really boring and very long. It simply states (my words, not his) that experts, on all kinds of levels, not just formally trained experts, can make snap judgments about the field of expertise in ?a blink of an eye?. Yes, isn?t that what makes them experts? What am I missing here? 30 pages or so into the book I could help to think that this would have made a excellent article in Wired or The New Yorker or another kind of magazine, but there is just not enough meat on the subject to write an entire book about it.
