ESPN recently interviewed Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point and Blink, both of which are high on my 'to-read' list. This interview brings Gladwell's work on the power of unconscious thought and gut instincts into conversation with pro sports, specifically focusing on the Super Bowl.

From my vantage point, there're also points of contact with religious practice, and a reading of Blink in conjunction with George Lindbeck's The Nature of Doctrine could be fascinating.
