Publisher's summary
Internationaler Bestseller vom Autor des Überflieger: Warum manche Menschen erfolgreich sind - und andere nicht und The Tipping Point.
Erst denken, dann handeln? Falsch!, sagt Malcolm Gladwell. Denn die Intuition kann in Bruchteilen von Sekunden Entscheidungen treffen, die besser sind als das Ergebnis langer Überlegungen oder Studien.
Blink! nennt Malcolm Gladwell die Intuition der ersten zwei Sekunden. Blink!-Momente können jederzeit eintreten - wenn sich Menschen zum ersten Mal begegnen, wenn sie Entscheidungen unter Stress treffen, wenn ihnen plötzlich etwas sagt: "Hier stimmt doch was nicht!" Malcolm Gladwell erklärt diese Augenblicke der spontanen Entscheidungen und ersten Eindrücke gekonnt und leicht verständlich.
In diesem Hörbuch zeigt der Autor, wie unser Gehirn in Blink!-Momenten abgespeicherte Erfahrungen aktiviert, wie wir diese Kunst erlernen und bewusster nutzen können:
- In der Liebe
- Im Job
- Beim Einkaufen
- Bei Entscheidungsprozessen aller Art.
Denn manchmal können zwei Sekunden ein ganzes Leben verändern... BLINK!
Malcolm Gladwell, geboren 1963 in London, schreibt seit 1996 für den New Yorker. Für sein Porträt von Ron Popeil erhielt er 1999 einen National Magazine Award, 2005 führte ihn Time auf seiner Liste der "100 Most Influential People". Gladwell lebt und arbeitet in New York.
Die Originalausgabe erschien unter dem Titel: Blink. The Power of Thinking Without Thinking.

In his landmark best seller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant, in the blink of an eye, that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept?

Explore the power of the underdog in Malcolm Gladwell's dazzling examination of success, motivation, and the role of adversity in shaping our lives, from the best-selling author of The Bomber Mafia. Three thousand years ago on a battlefield in ancient Palestine, a shepherd boy felled a mighty warrior with nothing more than a stone and a sling, and ever since then the names of David and Goliath have stood for battles between underdogs and giants. David's victory was improbable and miraculous. He shouldn't have won. Or should he have?

Story
The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed bestseller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas.

Story
In this stunning audiobook, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers" - the best and the brightest, the most famous, and the most successful. He asks the question: What makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: That is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing.

How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you’ll hear the voices of people he interviewed - scientists, criminologists, military psychologists.

Think of The War of Art as tough love...for yourself. Since 2002, The War of Art has inspired people around the world to defeat "resistance"; to recognize and knock down dream-blocking barriers and to silence the naysayers within us. Resistance kicks everyone's butt, and the desire to defeat it is equally as universal. The War of Art identifies the enemy that every one of us must face, outlines a battle plan to conquer this internal foe, then pinpoints just how to achieve the greatest success.

When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave - "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" - wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have... and you may find one day that you have less than you think").

Critic reviews
Blitzschnelle Entscheidungen, behauptet Gladwell in seinem neuen Buch, prägten unser gesamtes Weltbild, ob wir das wahrhaben wollen oder nicht... "Blink" wurde sofort nach dem Erscheinen im Januar in den USA zum Bestseller und seither: zu einem Phänomen.
-- Die Zeit
In einem Wimpernschlag entfalten sich, so Gladwells Botschaft, schnelle, intuitive Entscheidungen - oft mit besserem Ergebnis als durch langes inneres Räsonieren.
-- Focus
Gladwell ist weder Managementexperte noch Werbepapst, sondern eine Art Trüffelschwein für wissenschaftliche Studien und interessante Fragen.
-- Die Welt
Gladwell hat ein populäres Thema aufgegriffen, ohne ins Banale abzugleiten. Wer sich stressfrei ein Bild von der menschlichen Entscheidungsfindung machen möchte, dem sei dieses Buch empfohlen.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

He asks the question: What makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: That is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing.
