from Hachette Audio
Price: $16.31
Customer Review:
Malcolm Gladwell writes well. But there is not much substance. Sometimes, there is a point in time something changes dramatically. Sometimes, it doesn't come.

Price: $9.59
Customer Review:
There are some relevant points in this book. The main point that I gathered from this reading is that our unconscious does some of the thinking for us, and decisions relating to this thinking are some of the best.
