Daily Walk & Thots..... the Journey is just as Important as the Destination

Just finished reading Blink which is about making snap decisions & first impression - Malcolm G called that thin slicings. Learned a few interesting perspectives regarding mind reading & how to read facial movements.

As a summary the book teaches one that :-
1. Decisions made very quickly can be every bit as good as decisions made cautiously and deliberately
2. However this our internal computer (unconscious) can be thrown off, distracted and disabled.....it is possible to learn when to listen to that powerful onboard computer and when to be wary of it.
3. Our snap judgment and first impressions can be educated and controlled

Also there are two other important lessons... 1. Truly successful decision making relies on a balance between deliberate and instinctive thinking (page 141) 2. Second lesson in good decision making - frugality matters

Will read the book again to maximize learning.
