Blink

Walked past bookshop at airport. Saw "Blink". Instinctively realised there was something to it. Bought a copy. Didn't read it. Gave it to a friend who didn't read it either. Buy a copy and don't read it. At least not past about the first chapter. You probably already know it.

By same guy whoe wrote Tipping Point. Quite onto it.

Intuitive Creative of Auckland.

Check out his articles for the New Yorker. Quite good.

Years ago he wrote the first article on the 'cool-hunting' craze.

Nah, I ain't read it either. I rely on our brilliant media companies/partners regurgitating quotes stuff out o it and trying to pass it off onto us as brilliant insights.

Just my initial gut reaction, of course.

Axis Adschool won't - DB will force-read it to his misbegotten urchins just like Tipping Point.
Or that weighty tome 'Whack on the Side of the Head'.
Wack indeed.
