Blink has huge tie-ins with my Aikido practice. You need to train and rely upon instinct. O-Sensei once said that "budo is the education of instinct". Ive relied on this to great success in work, and to great downfall when Ive let ego override instinct. A good, solid read.
"Perhaps the most stunning example he gives of this counterintuitive truth is the most expensive war game ever conducted by the Pentagon, in which a wily marine officer, playing "a rogue military commander" in the Persian Gulf and unencumbered by hierarchy, bureaucracy and too much technology, humiliated American forces whose chiefs were bogged down in matrixes, systems for decision making and information overload."
