Blink

Weisberg, Zoe Rosenfeld, Charles Randolph, Jennifer Wachtell,
Josh Liberson, Elaine Blair, and Tanya Simon. Emily Kroll did
the CEO height study for me. Joshua Aronson and Jonathan
Schooler generously gave me the benefit of their academic
expertise. The wonderful staff at Savoy tolerated my long
afternoons in the table by the window. Kathleen Lyon kept me
happy and healthy. My favorite photographer in the world,
Brooke Williams, took my author photo. Several people,
though, deserve special thanks. Terry Martin and Henry Finder
— as they did with The Tipping Point — wrote long and
extraordinary critiques of the early drafts. I am blessed to have
two friends of such brilliance. Suzy Hansen and the
incomparable Pamela Marshall brought focus and clarity to the
text and rescued me from embarrassment and error. As for Tina
Bennett, I would suggest that she be appointed CEO of
Microsoft or run for President or otherwise be assigned to bring
her wit and intelligence and graciousness to bear on the world’s
problems — but then I wouldn’t have an agent anymore.
Finally, my mother and father, Joyce and Graham Gladwell,
read this book as only parents can: with devotion, honesty, and
love. Thank you.
