The best way to understand the dramatic transformation of unknown books into bestsellers, or the rise of teenage smoking, or the phenomena of word of mouth or any number of the other mysterious changes that mark everyday life, writes Malcolm Gladwell, is to think of them as epidemics. Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread just like viruses do. Although anyone familiar with the theory of memetics will recognize this concept, Gladwell s The Tipping Point has quite a few interesting twists on the subject. For example, Paul Revere was able to galvanize the forces of resistance so effectively in part because he was what Gladwell calls a Connector: he knew just about everybody, particularly the revolutionary leaders in each of the towns that he rode through. But Revere wasn t just the man with the biggest Rolodex in colonial Boston, he was also a Maven who gathered extensive information about the British. He knew what was going on and he knew exactly whom to tell. The phenome...

#Excellent theory on how a small action can create a big result (2009-05-19) What an awesome book! I enjoyed reading about Malcolm Gladwell s ideas on how small things created big results, with examples spanning television shows, to health epidemics.

#The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference (2009-04-22) It was an interesting read with many examples to illustrate the author s points. Perhaps there could have been a little more detail surrounding the point at which things go beyond the norm and hit the tipping Point. All in all it is a good read with insight into when things are no longer average or dated and become a phenomenon.

#Accessible and fascinating - could not put it down! (2009-01-15) Amazing! Such a fascinating read, even if some of the conclusions are a bit intuitive and the strategies for inciting tipping points in the private sector are made available for manipulation.

#Excellent Book (2008-03-03) In this book, Gladwell does a great job of explaining the tipping points of trends, fads, disease, etc, -basically any event imaginable. If we look close enough in our everyday lives we ll see the tipping point. After reading this book you should be able to see where it is exactly (almost) that mistakes are made, or good decisions are made. Great read -an eye opener for sure! (The idea is what attracts me as opposed to those that rate a book on the writing style, etc, especially for this style of information book. )

#I Just Tipped! (2008-01-17) When I published my own book a while back, my daughter gave me The Tipping Point to read. Even though I am a spiritual author, and generally only read books by other spiritual authors, I found this secular book to be very inspiring. In my work, I teach that there is a next right step that you are always being divinely guided to take -- a step that will help you fulfill your hearts desires in an effortless manner. That step is invariably a small step -- a tiny step, even. But those tiny steps, when taken one after another, prove to be miraculously effecti...
