Summary

This is a classic work about the idea of progress where the writer criticizes an essay by his contemporary on the "era of progress."
Excerpt
"To revisit this earth, some ages after their departure from it, is a common wish among men. We frequently hear men say that they would give so many months or years of their lives in exchange for a less number on the globe one or two or three centuries from now. Merely to see the world from some remote sphere, like the distant spectator of a play which passes in dumb show, would not suffice. They would like to be of the world again, and enter into its feelings, passions, hopes; to feel the sweep of its current, and so to comprehend what it has become."

    Book Summary of Blink by Malcolm Gladwell  
About 
“Blink” is author Malcolm Gladwell’s follow-up to the book that put him on the map — “The Tipping Point” — which was about how small ideas morphed into big trends. With his follow-up title, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, Gladwell takes a more psychological approach towards his writing, with a focus on Rapid Cognition (quick thinking). A large part of the book is based on research about the “adaptive unconscious” — a part of the brain that helps us make good decisions without realizing that we’re even making them. In the book, Gladwell masterfully combines science and story to get us thinking about our lives from a new and different perspective.
