Blink...and that's IT

Read a book recently :p

I'm kinda into neuroscience all these while

So I borrowed this after paying rm20 fine to National Library

(holiday+too lazy to walk)

and I bring this back >.<

Seriously don't scare die.

Hope I remember to renew, I don't wanna create new record for fine again.

So it's about instinct

Thinking without even thinking :p

Yay, sounds amazing right?

That instantaneous moment you saw something

there are millions of ongoing neural processes passing through impulses all over your brain

and think before you are aware of the process of thinking

Therefore sometimes, 

the instinct that pop out, is the answer 

but

when you overload it with more information

when you try to get the answer behind it

you lost it

The book covered lots of interesting research

about behavior, psychology

and they tell you

sometimes in making decision or conclusion

you only need few to know few deciding factors

for example, if you want to know whether a marriage would last

you get the couple to talk about conflict they have recently

and they found that just by identifying the microexpression(Yeay, true story of LIE TO ME )

you can sense which couple will last longer

only FEW seconds is needed

and if there is presence of COMTEMPT

then, sure die.

but we never know which factor

You can't such a thorough research on everything

This book is like freakonomic :p

It touches on a lot of topic

like how TALL, DARK and HANDSOME man really get advantages

How NEW and CREATIVE things that are too cutting-edge get shoved by market research

because it is just too mind-blowing for people  to accept it is good in the first place

How when our adrenaline rush to a certain highpoint, we become irrational

How prejudice exist and twist your mind even when you think you are being fair

How our mind are shaped by these little things are we are not even aware of

I like how it makes you look into things with different perspective

Blink and see it in a different way

Trust your instinct

but not 100%

because even if the first thought are the process of sophisticated thinking process that bypass our conscious judgement

It's still ONLY inside your head

and the world is just too much for a tiny brain.

:) Cheers, and blink ;D

The author that looked like DJ from 80s for me :p
