Bookmap: "Sources Of Power: How People Make Decisions" by Gary Klein

Recommended to me by Tony Quinlan, "Sources of Power" chronicles Gary Klein's research into naturalistic decision making - how people make decisions in fields where they possess expertise.

Cited in Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink", this is a deeper and more satisfying examination of the subject. It's full of stories about people who make rapid decisions in stressful situations, including chess players, surgeons and firefighters - one of whom had previously believed himself to be psychic.
