This is the last book at this time that Gladwell has written that I have not read. Short synopsis below from wikipedia.
This is a 2005 book by Malcolm Gladwell. It presents in popular science format research from psychology and behavioral economics on the adaptive unconscious; mental processes that work rapidly and automatically from relatively little information. It considers both the strengths of the adaptive unconscious, for example in expert judgment, and its pitfalls such as stereotypes.
This is quite a good book, thought I feel that some of the arguments are debatable and can be open to so many interpretations and results of what are the causes and effects. However, Gladwell again succeeds in showing there is something to be considered here. The topic itself is very interesting and well worth a read.
