Felt off balanced in this chapter due to starting with tennis players {hate tennis}.Alright , the author presents snap judgments in a quite nice way, but a serious question bears in mind ` How can I control this kinda judgments?o_O'. I totally agree with reviews here that snap judgments are more better than the longest one which might fail while applying it in a real pic.
"Primed for Action" ,however, it is more impressive how the author uses the truth of "The ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex" to enlarge his ideas towards quick judgments. I liked the idea how we sometimes stand behind the locked door and make judgments. Here is a good example when the author uses Mary's situation while changing her decisions in hurry then come back again to emphasis on her previous decision. I face this position sometime and I think "power of love" is main reason or the reason behind my locked door.
Finally , I dont enjoy this chapter :-$ as very much but I got some good points.

Chapter 3 :

I really enjoyed this chapter alot . I appreciate how the author does his best to convince us with his idea that sometimes "Snap judgments" are making troubles due to our poor experience or poor knowledge about the other 's environment. Still wondering how we really take a snap judgment to "tall" people!. I am in my wat to try "IAT" which I really hope I can take different scores to feel that Im in my way to put strong control to my snap judgment.
Through "blink in Black and White" section, I think we shall have some skills of salesman because we act in our daily life as " salesman". For instance, I find convincing my litter sisters with some ideas that we like is the hardest task because we are a little bit different. Hence, as the author said that collecting the information about the issue that I would to show it up is the first step before letting our snap judgment works on like " This sister is a such stubborn girl and I wont be able to change her mind"! . In some cases, this step assists me very much to take my sister at my line because I am talking with strong supporting sources.
On the other hand, Being a watchful itelligence person would shrink the possiblity to take snap judgment wrongly against a person or a thing. I think the author discusses the matter of black and white so far due to the nature of life that he is experienced. This means I have not touched this matter plays a crazy rule in my life because Islam calls to equality in everything as well as I used To hand down people according to what they have done than what they have gotten.
Last not least, I am one of people has worked hardly to stop my silly snap judgments because I discovered that "the Cover of book" does not reflect a real character of a person. ^_* ...more "

"Talking to God was the first action that writer attempts to present to readers. Haven't find any new action because we are used to talk to Allah anytime and anywhere. Ummm the writer is a little bit talkative . She gives silly details that stop my attention to keep going." — Mar 07, 2012 02:10PM
