Review: Making a decision based on observations gleaned in the first couple of seconds can be done successfully or not. Interesting thoughts about "thin slicing" - taking in the important issues in the first impressions. This skill can be taught/learned and there are many positive examples given. But there are just as many when it wasn't done - to terrible outcomes. Funny that I remember taking this book out rather than the one next to it - and that quick decision proved to be a good one!
