So two things:
First, I was supposed to be reading a different book. I thought I had the Power of Now but I had accidentally picked up a book about the Power of Now so I went ahead and changed my book of the week to Blink. So in the coming weeks I will get the Power of Now.
Secondly, I did finish the book yesterday but ran out of energy and daytime to write this post. So here it is a tad late... again.
What did I learn?
I have learned that it is important to trust my instincts and initial reactions because they often are more reliable than I realize. Blink is the idea that our unconscious is aware of what is going on or how we feel quicker and more reliably than our conscious. And that our conscious often mucks up or distorts reality when it doesn't align with what we think is right.
I think this is fascinating. Because essentially Blink says that those feeling or intuitions that we sometimes get can be trusted. We can't explain why we feel the way we do but we know that they are right. The reason we can't explain them is because we are aware on an unconscious level. Maybe it is the nerd in me but I think these types of things are pretty dang cool.
