“An instant classic, as well as a profound example of irony, since the phrase "tipping point" itself has become part of the current lexicon in record time, with many people adopting this phrase without even being aware of its recent origins! Overall, this book is not only a fun and fascinating read on a variety of loosely-related topics, ranging from children's television shows to crime rates in New York City, but also sports some of the best passages ever written about networking theory. Speaking as a career coach, the insights the author provides about the inter-connectedness of people throughout the globe, and the role that "connectors" and "mavens" play in helping facilitate useful linkages between people and products, are invaluable. I'd highly recommend this book for all audiences, whether you're simply looking for an enjoyable, more casual reading experience or some keen suggestions about how to maximize the use of your network and social capital.”
