Thin-Slicing
What is Thin-Slicing?
The word thin-slicing means building very quick selections with little quantities of information. The word is most frequently used in the discussion of Malcolm Gladwell’s 2005 non-fiction book Blink, which examines the concept of “thinking without thinking.” Blink is the Power of Thinking without Thinking is a 2005 book by Malcolm Gladwell
Gladwell posits that thin-slicing can have its usages or can be a mistake. If one takes a small quantity of information to generalize or create conclusions in whole then conclusions might be made that really are incorrect. One example of thin-slicing is the Dr. Phil T.V. program. When the program started, people praised Dr. Phil’s power to cut by the “bull” and get people straight to their major issues.
