The Tipping Point

The Tipping Point

by Malcolm Gladwell
Publisher: Back Bay Bks / Little, Brown Year: 2000 Pages: 288 ISBN: 0349113467 ●●●●○

Why It Matters

The book that launched the modern ideas genre. Gladwell's connectors-mavens-salesmen framework is still useful for thinking about how ideas spread. Some of the science has been challenged, but the storytelling remains unmatched. The gateway drug to thinking about culture systematically.

Quick Take

The book that launched a thousand strategy presentations. Still holds up, even if everyone's read it.
