Malcolm Gladwell, The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference Review

Overall Rating

Well written and poignant, with clever conclusions.

Clever conclusions, but a lack of broad examples.

I picked Malcolm Gladwell's, The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference book up after reading Blink, so I had an idea of what to expect.

It seems to me Blink was written in defense of this book. There are conclusions solidly drawn from weak evidence, which is the hallmark of bad reporting. The book does bring some interesting ideas to bear, and it broadens the ideas I had about certain aspects of the world.
