: Why Crucial Decisions Can't Be Made in the Blink of an Eye is a non-fiction book by editor and journalist Michael R. LeGault, released in January 2006.

Michael LeGault maintains that relying on emotion and instinct instead of reason and facts is ultimately a threat to our freedom and way of life.

LeGault briefly mentions Blink as the height of this irrationality, but moves on to other failures in government, schools, media, and industry.
