On Second Thought by Wray Herbert

I haven't read more than this excerpt, but found it quite intriguing. One of my current reads is Blink, by Malcom Gladwell. From what I have read so far, Gladwell is focusing on our abilities to recognize patterns and make snap judgments just on our intuition, or gut feelings. Our brains are subconsciously calculating, processing inputs, and discovering patterns continually. Herbert's book, or at least the excerpt that I read, is about making conscious, informed, and calculated decisions with the conscious mind and not relying on heuristics for rationalizing choices.
