Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: It is a tipping point, unless it is not Comment: Malcolm Gladwell writes well. But there is not much substance. Sometimes, there is a point in time something changes dramatically. Sometimes, it doesn't come. These first ones are by definition a Tipping Point. Is there anything really interesting here? Not really. How can a tautology be worth a full book? Pages after pages of blah blah blah.... Customer Rating: Summary: Enough already....... Comment: Obviously I am in the minority here - but I was sorely disappointed in what I read of this book. As a Sociology Major I was excited and all aquiver to read this facinating book. But after the Hush Puppy example in the first few pages of the book I seriously found myself wondering how many examples of the exact same thing I was going to have to read through. I really do admire the authors boundless enthusiasm for this subject matter - well - at least I did for about the first 50 pages. Customer Rating: Summary: fantastic read Comment: What an interesting read! I really like it when I come across a book that I can't put down. This is one of those really interesting factual reads that gives societal feedback and maybe something that in turn could help the reader. Highly recommendable! Customer Rating: Summary: Useful to understand how word of mouth is built and how it spreads Comment: Given the current and complex way consumers and voters build their impressions and opinions about products, companies and candidates, word of mouth is today even more important than it was some decades ago. This book ilustrates how word of mouth is created and how it spreads. Very useful for people in PR, advertising and other communications activities. Customer Rating: Summary: Very interesting! Comment: I believe the basic premise of The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference by Malcolm Gladwell actually is true. If the right people take an idea and start behaving differently it will surge out until it reaches the "Tipping Point". Sometimes it the little things that mean the most. By the way, I see from reading the reviews on this site some people have recommend my book, "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message for Everyone," and again I just want them to know how much I appreciate their recommendation, especially at such a excellent site. I wrote this book out of love and for the glory of God and Jesus, not for my own fame or fortune. I welcome people to read my book, I'm sure you'll find this non-fiction account of a loving God just as and inspiring. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: THE TIPPING POINT is the biography of an idea, and the idea is quite simple. It is that many of the problems we face - from crime to teenage delinquency to traffic jams - behave like epidemics. They aren't linear phenomena in the sense that they steadily and predictably change according to the level of effort brought to bear against them. They are capable of sudden and dramatic changes in direction. Years of well-intentioned intervention may have no impact at all, yet the right intervention - at just the right time - can start a cascade of change. Many of the social ills that face us today, in other words, are as inherently volatile as the epidemics that periodically sweep through the human population: little things can cause them to 'tip' at any time and if we want to understand how to confront and solve them we have to understand what those 'Tipping Points' are. In this revolutionary new study, Malcolm Gladwell explores the ramifications of this. Not simply for politicians and policy-makers, his method provides a new way of viewing everyday experience and enables us to develop strategies for everything from raising a child to running a company.
