Top Business Summaries Vol. I

BLINK by Malcolm Gladwell: Blink is about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant — in the blink of an eye — that actually aren’t as simple as they seem, and about those instantaneous decisions that are impossible to explain to others. In this summary, staff writer from The New Yorker Malcolm Gladwell reveals that great decision makers aren’t those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of “thin-slicing” — filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.

WHAT GOT YOU HERE WON’T GET YOU THERE by Marshall Goldsmith: The corporate world is full of intelligent and skilled executives, but few will ever reach the top, and according to Goldsmith, subtle nuances make the difference. He details the 20 habits that may be holding you back and provides solutions.

WIKINOMICS by Don Tapscott & Anthony Williams: Using the collaborative-software “wiki” concept as their theme, the authors address how the Internet’s social network offers new, decentralized ways to produce content, goods, services and profit.
