After just a few seconds, a man dressed as a gorilla slowly walked into the frame, beat his chest at the camera, and sauntered off. Unbelievably, almost none of the people watching the film noticed the gorilla.<br><br>Exactly the same psychological mechanisms that caused people to miss the gorilla also cause them to miss unexpected but important opportunities in their professional and personal lives. This book outlines the scientific evidence and thinking behind this remarkable new phenomenon, and shows you how you can spot gorillas in your life &#8211; and what to do when you see one.</p> 1178158 5 8 2004 Did You Spot the Gorilla? : How to Recognise the Hidden Opportunities in Your Life total:2|4:1|1:1| 2 5 6 0 0 0 false false Fri Nov 20 01:32:35 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 01:32:35 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 15 08:36:14 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 08:36:14 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Sep 28 01:18:49 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 01:18:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jun 28 11:50:11 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 11:50:16 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Wed Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Thu Mar 12 04:37:25 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 12 04:37:25 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Feb 18 23:33:21 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 23:33:21 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1190130
