The Tipping Point Malcolm Gladwell

‘’The tipping point’’ by Malcolm Gladwell, how little things can make a big difference explains why certain products or movements spread very quickly while others fade into the unknown. In the book ‘’the tipping point’’, includes fascinating anecdotes and many real life examples of how ideas spread and become popularized. The book overall is extremely easy to follow and is very educational. It’s organized and can draw the reader into the book and essentially agreeing with Malcolm’s main idea. While reading the book ‘’the tipping point’’, it offered me new perspective in seeing how everything comes together. Little things can make a big difference and the book was able to offer me a helpful perspective of considering human behaviours. Generally,

this book can appeal to all readers, even to readers that may not agree with Malcolm’s point of view. The book ‘’the tipping point’’ is basically a collection of amusing stories. Although the stories generally back up Malcolm’s main thesis, it’s all really, just a collection of social history. From the case of Hush Puppies, to teen suicides from Micronesia, it’s all essentially a category that talks about social history. However, one thing that I would change from the book ‘’the tipping point’’ is how often it goes off on a tangent. For example, while discussing about social epidemics or tipping points for certain movements or ideas, the author Malcolm, goes off context by explaining social behaviour experiments, human behaviours, and etc. In general, the author was very skilled in writing the non-fiction novel, and did not neglect any issues that needed to be covered. ‘’The tipping point’’ by Malcolm Gladwell, overall does an excellent job in exploring the social ‘’epidemics’’ and the book itself expressing an interesting concept. It has a new, original idea that hasn’t been covered previously which can serve as a hook for new potential readers.
