Re: Blink, the Power of Thinking without thinking
[ QUOTE ]
It's good to read, but anyone saying it's crucial is retarded. It's like 300 pages and he repeats the same thing every 50 pages or so. I was really disappointed. He states one major claim and then repeats the same idea over and over again, I felt kind of ripped off after reading the whole thing. I've heard tipping point is no different.

I thought the same thing. Some of the tipping point is also complete bs, like the falling crime rates in NY being due to stopping graffiti. I have more trust in the authors of Freakenomics who argued much more convincingly that it was access to legal abortion.
