I am reading the most fascinating book right now. It is titled Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. He is also the author of Tipping Point, which I have not read, but have heard is also fascinating. Blink is all about how your subconscious can just 'know' something. You might not be able to explain why you think or feel that way, but you just know. I find this book amazing because I am definitely more of an intuitive person than a sensing person (meaning that I use my intuition to make decisions more than I use my five senses.) This books makes me feel better than I am not just crazy for 'feeling' things and knowing that I should believe them. All my life I have felt bad for meeting someone and thinking, "I need to stay away from that person" because I felt that I was being too judgemental. After reading Blink I have realized that I can either go with my gut feeling and save myself a year of a troubled friendship, or I can waste a year getting to know this person and still come away with the same opinion that I should avoid them.
Everyone should go read Blink. The book is filled with a variety of studies and stories that relate to so many different areas of our lives. Overall just an incredible book!
