The Tipping Point (2000) (edit title/settings)

• Rated 0 stars

“In Tipping Point Gladwell uses several good cases to illustrate his theory. But it's a 'leaky' notion to get a lasso around. If you're a marketing afficianado you'll likely recognize Gladwell's ideas incorporated in better ad buys from the past decade. But for the most part it's an esoteric concept with much of what makes up human decisional logic (or lack thereof) still a bit out of our reach. I say read it for his Rules of Epidemics but it's drawn-out and repetitive. Definitely not written be be read cover-to-cover. Don't get me wrong, I admire Mr. Gladwell for this work. It is an impressive accomplishment. [Note: I haven't read Tipping Point until now as it got lost in a great class of books released in 2000-2001. I'm just now getting back to some of the more 'lasting' works.]”

“Malcolm describes three principles of what influence a tipping point, or why something gets big and why something doesn't. Easy to read. However, he applied the principles on a use case, which I thought was bad applied. Perhaps that is personal and other find it useful.”

“Doesn't have all the answers but Gladwell does a good job making you think deeply about them.”

“Great read. Many of my recent reads reference Gladwell's Tipping Point so, I am just attacking it backwards. Wow, it's good to know that I am a blend of the three personaility types he says are best for creating "Tipping Point Changes". I am an extereme "Connector & Maven", with a good touch of influencing "Salesman".”

“Another great Gladwell read where he breaks down common elements to why some thing "tip" from a good idea into a phenomenon. What's so interesting is that Gladwell and relates these elements to both positive and negative events to include Paul Revere's midnight ride, AIDS and STD outbreaks, decreases in crime, teen smoking, and even to Sesame Street. I think you could come from about any walk of life and relate to how this material is presented. ”

“Among other ideas presented, this book gives good advise for identifying "connectors" as people who have the opportunity to convey sticky ideas and break the tipping point. ”
