As has been well-reported, the author weighs Trump and his colleagues and finds them wanting in every way: “this president is unethical,” he charges, “and untethered to truth and institutional values.” That president, he adds with a touch of informed speculation, is also bound for greater legal troubles than he has faced thus far. “Holy crap, they are trying to make each of us an ‘ amica nostra’-friend of ours,” he writes, adverting to time he spent pursuing Mafia figures as a federal prosecutor in New York. “What, I wondered, could possibly interfere with that?” The “what” was Donald Trump, who, under investigation for various improprieties committed during his campaign and perhaps after, demanded personal loyalty of Comey and did not receive the required affirmative reply. “I fully intended to serve as director of the FBI through the year 2023,” writes Comey, that year being when his 10-year term, begun under Barack Obama, expired. Former FBI director Comey, much in the news, reviews his career and speaks his mind about his dismissal.

I am particularly grateful to this book because it was where I first read about ‘cultural micro rhythms’ and their effect upon our perception of others and it was from this that I finally understood why my sales approach actually works.Īll that said the chapter that makes this book essential reading at the moment is the one called ‘The Warren Harding Error.’ It explains how the man now recognised as being the worst ever US President was elected to the post. He introduces the concept of ‘thin slicing’ and explains how snippets of conversations are often all we need to form opinions about people and their relationships that are usually not that wide of the mark. In Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, Gladwell looks at the way we make decisions and comes up with some pretty astonishing insights. In the same way that a good stand up comedian can focus on something we see everyday and make it hilarious, so Gladwell can take seemingly random observations and present them in a way that makes your head spin. If you’ve read The Tipping Point then you’ll know all about Gladwell’s gift for making the factual riveting. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, we recommend reading the series in sequential order.
