In the book “Blink,” we meet the psychologist who has learned to predict whether a marriage will last based on a few minutes of observation of a couple; the tennis coach who knows when a player will double-fault before the racket even makes contact with the ball; and the antiquities experts who can recognize a fake at a glance.
