The Power of Thinking Without Thinking

Malcolm Gladwell
Back Bay Books, 2007

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - This course was designed to allow the reader to:
• Learn how people can make better instant judgments
• Learn how people train their minds and their senses
• Learn how to focus on the most relevant facts and that less input is better than more
• Learn from examples with scenes from a marriage, heart attack triage, speed dating, golf course, selling cars, and military maneuvers
• Focus on the meaning of “thin slices” of behavior
• Learn why people rely on their “adaptive unconscious”- a 24/7 mental valet
• Learn how to read a stranger or react to a new idea based on our adaptive unconscious
•Change the way one can understand how every decision was made
