Summary:
This isn’t the time to Blink. It’s time to THINK! — just before it’s too past due.
Outraged by the unpredictable manner of American intellect and culture, Michael R. LeGault supplies the flip side of Malcolm Gladwell’s bestselling phenomenon, Blink, which celebrated impulse thinking over factual understanding or critical analysis. If bestselling books are advising us never to think, LeGault argues, it comes as no surprise that razor-sharp, incisive reasoning can be on the drop, leading our society to incompetence and about Think!: Why Crucial Decisions Can’t Be Manufactured in the Blink of the Eye failure.
• Permissive parenting and low requirements that have triggered an academic turmoil among our children — body weights rise while marks plummet
• A lifestyle of image and quick gratification, fed by reality shows and video games, which has rendered curiosity of the mind and spirit basically obsolete
• Tension, aversion to taking chances, and therapy that are replacing the traditional American ‘can do’ mind-set
Far from perpetuating the stereotype from the complacent American, LeGault maintains that Americans are abundantly gifted having the ability to fulfill our nation’s greatest potential starting today but we need smart teachers, healthcare workers, sales representatives, students, technicians, and leaders to create it happen. A bracing wake-up contact to America, THINK! delivers a no-holds-barred prescription for reversing the erosion of American civilization.
