Chapter 2: We All Search for Meaning & Chapter 3: We Connect the Dots
Summary
Chapter two talks about memory and how people are prone to remembering things when they have some sort of personal meaning as supposed to meaningless things. Hallinan gives as an example people forgetting names. In the next chapter, Hallinan talks about people making choices based on what he calls "invisible" factors. Also as the chapter title suggests, Hallinan describes how the human brain connects meaning without you realizing it.
Discussion
The example Hallinan gives in chapter two about forgetting names is something that happens to me all of the time. There are people that I take classes with, and I recognize their faces but tend to forget their names unless we worked on a project together. Chapter three reminds me on how important a first impression is.
