The information and insights if this book are mind-blowing because they expose how vulnerable we are to any influences that could enhance or diminish the quality of our lives. A must read to all especially in this age of heavy deluge of information from the Internet.

Read this to further explore some ideas that were covered briefly in a class I took, 'Managing People in Organizations'. It's a fun blend of high-level social psychology and practical advice that can be applied to almost anything, and the author made it a lot more fun to read than I expected. Some of the chapters could have been half as long, but would still recommend to anyone who enjoys business-focused leadership books as it's one of the better ones.

5 stars for content. 2 stars for presentation.
This book is way too long (and I love and read long books all the time). This should have been 200 pages not almost 600 pages. I recommend reading and taking notes on the "Blink" for this one (see blinkest.com). You'll get everything you need in less than an hour.
