The book Blink was
written by Michael Gladwell. It is a
non-fiction book and was published, January 11th 2005. I do not believe the author is very popular
since I have never heard of him before. The types of people that would be interested in reading Blink, are people who enjoy looking at
life from a different perspective. From the
acknowledgements on the back cover of the book, it can be seen that many people
from the business community would benefit from reading this book since it
brings up new theories on how to run a business more smoothly and other
techniques. I do not usually read these kinds of books, since I am
interested in thrillers, however I was drawn to the book’s simple title and
cover. The cover of the book is white
and only displays the title, subtitle and author’s name. There are no pictures. The front cover is plain and easy to look
at. The title is short and simple
“Blink”, and it has a subtitle, “The Power of thinking without thinking”. This is what drew me into selecting this book
since I found this subtitle very intriguing. It looked like an interesting book
to read.
On the back cover, there are reviews from very prestigious
publicists such as New York Times, and Fortune.
This was very appealing, because I can see that this book is being
showcased by these famous news broad castors.
From the reviews, it seems like a very good book to read which further
gained my interest in reading it. The cover of the book reflects the subject matter of what
the book is about and its focus on the power of thinking. Since this book, is non-fiction, and the
ideas in it can be used in the real world, I look forward to learning, and
reading this book.
