I liked it when I read it. Right now, the only thing that really sticks in my mind is the racism/unconscious test. As a training psychologist (which psychology of racism and categories is my area of interest) it was good to see this in the book, and also it shows just how much our unconscious motives affect our actions.

Also, the other part that really resonated with me was the sculpture thing at the start of the book. It basically showed me that if you break down something enough and analyze its elements early, then in the future, when evaluating the quality of something, it becomes much more of a snap-judgement thing, much more efficient.

Liked The Tipping Point more though.
