Do not fill this in! ===''Blink''=== {{Main|Blink (book)}} After ''The Tipping Point,'' Gladwell published ''Blink'' in 2005. The book explains how the human [[Unconscious mind|unconscious]] interprets events or cues as well as how past experiences can lead people to make informed decisions very rapidly. Gladwell uses examples like the [[Getty kouros]] and psychologist [[John Gottman]]'s research on the likelihood of [[divorce]] in [[Marriage|married couples]]. Gladwell's hair was the inspiration for ''Blink''. He stated that once he allowed his hair to get longer, he started to get speeding tickets all the time, an oddity considering that he had never gotten one before and that he started getting pulled out of airport security lines for special attention.<ref name=Independent>{{Cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/malcolm-gladwell-a-good-hair-day-470479.html|title=Malcolm Gladwell: A good hair day|newspaper=[[The Independent]]|first=Johnny|last=Davis|date=19 March 2006|access-date=6 July 2018|language=en-GB}}</ref> In a particular incident, he was apprehended by three police officers while walking in downtown Manhattan because his curly hair matched the profile of a rapist, despite the fact the suspect looked nothing like him otherwise.<ref name=Independent /> Gladwell's ''The Tipping Point'' (2000) and ''Blink'' (2005) were international bestsellers.
