May Book Choice

Message from Heather:

I have picked a book recommended to me by a colleague at work. It's not a novel, but it contains many anecdotes to keep you engaged. I have read a bit of it and think it will make for a cool read, and it's outside of the box! I find psychology and neuroscience fascinating, and I hope everyone will enjoy reading something a little different. It came very highly recommended!

"Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell

Synopsis:
How do we make decisions—good and bad—and why are some people so much better at it than others? That's the question Malcolm Gladwell asks and answers in the follow-up to his huge bestseller, The Tipping Point. Utilizing case studies as diverse as speed dating, pop music, and the shooting of Amadou Diallo, Gladwell reveals that what we think of as decisions made in the blink of an eye are much more complicated than assumed.
Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology, he shows how the difference between good decision-making and bad has nothing to do with how much information we can process quickly, but on the few particular details on which we focus. Leaping boldly from example to example, displaying all of the brilliance that made The Tipping Point a classic, Gladwell reveals how we can become better decision makers—in our homes, our offices, and in everyday life. The result is a book that is surprising and transforming. Never again will you think about thinking the same way. (From the publisher.)
Gladwell is also the author of The Tipping Point, Outliers, and What the Dog Saw.

April Meeting

Hi girls,
Sorry for the delay in the details. The next meeting will be Saturday, April 14th at my house. I was thinking we could do a brunch gathering at 12 PM if that works for everyone? Let me know. I will take care of all the savory foods. If some people want to bring sweets that will be welcome. I only say that since no longer eat wheat, and I won't be baking anything this time around :(

I just finished the book and I really liked it, I can't wait to talk about it with everyone!

Please RSVP if you are able to attend. If you need my address or directions send me a message and I will email them to you.

Happy Easter Weekend!

XO,
Maia
