Over time, you will see lots of books mentioned here. I am a book addict. If I don't read at least 2 books per week, one fiction, one nonfiction, I still to feel very uncomfortable...ill at ease. Thankfully, this addiction has served me well over the years and I think it will serve you also.
This week I read, or actually I listened to "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell. He is more famous for "The Tipping Point", but I thought I would start here. Excellent read / listen. The book explores in wonderful story rich fashion the history, training, uses and pitfalls of intuition...hence the name "Blink". I would make a point of reading or listening to this one. Malcolm reads his own work here and does and excellent job of it. The section on "Priming" alone is worth many times the price of admission.
Malcolm will be one of the featured speakers at The New Yorker Conference / 2012: Stories from the near future. May 06 +07, 2007 in (of course) New York City. This would be a great conference to make! www.conference.newyorker.com
