The book’s key concept is that of ‘thin-slicing’, whereby the use of a streamlined source of information allows our brains to focus on the most relevant information and draw highly accurate conclusions from it. Gladwell uses a series of scientific case studies and entertaining anecdotes to take the reader on a tour behind the ‘locked door’ of their subconscious in order to better understand the reasoning behind their own snap decisions.
