Highly recommended! Here’s what the short summary about this talk says:
Are our judgments influenced by the amount of information used in arriving at them? Does more information lead to better judgments? Malcolm Gladwell takes these knotty questions head on and weaves a very coherent story around the answers he suggests.
Snap decisions are much more complex than we think and even when we believe we are talking rational, well-thought out decisions we may still be largely driven by the initial snap judgment. We are always making snap judgments, as he illustrates in areas ranging from music audition to hiring CEOs and diagnosing heart attacks, and yet we know very little of what influences them. The more we learn how to control the stimuli for these judgments, the more likely that our judgments and decisions well be correct.
