Malcolm Gladwell: “The Tipping Point”
I just got Malcolm Gladwell’s book “The Tipping Point” and soon I’m going to get his brand new book “Outliers”. “The Tipping Point” is really good so far; it’s about how fads and social habits and products go from nothing to an epidemic for no apparent reason. Every successful product, for example, starts out with just a few customers but soon booms into a huge “epidemic” of users and customers. It reaches the “Tipping Point,” where it goes out of control. If you looked at a graph for such a product, the Tipping Point would be where the line curves way up for no apparent reason.
Very fascinating read. Malcolm’s a genius, despite his crazy hair.
