Malcolm Gladwell is an amazing story teller who blends interest data points into intricate stories, making it very enjoyable. He is certainly someone who is worth seeing speak if you have the opportunity.

Anyone who wants to understand the innerworkings of the mind should read this. It's also been incredibly helpful in the corporate setting as well. Malcolm Gladwell never disappoints.

I'll read just about anything that Gladwell writes because he does thorough research and then writes very intelligently about the subject. This is best work (at least so far!). (via gordon)

Blink is another paradigm-changing book from Malcom Gladwell. Blink focuses on how and why people make quick decisions. Blink discusses the heuristics people have evolved biologically and culturally to help us navigate thru the myriad choices necessary in daily life.

Witty, breezy, and well researched/organized, Blink is a pleasure to read. If you are at all interested in how people think, Blink is essential reading (and is a great way to avoid having to read all the primary psychology and sociology research Gladwell nicely summarizes for his readers) (via cath)

I have never found a non-fiction book as page-turning and unputdownable as Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. If you find yourself wondering how your mind works when you're not making it think, pick up this book. It'll literally change the way you look at the world.
