Summary
 'A wonderful page-turner about a fascinating idea that should affect the way every thinking person thinks about the world around him' Michael Lewis

In this brilliant and original book, Malcolm Gladwell explains and analyses the 'tipping point', that magic moment when ideas, trends and social behaviour cross a threshold, tip and spread like wildfire. Taking a look behind the surface of many familiar occurrences in our everyday world, Gladwell explains the fascinating social dynamics that cause rapid change.

'Hip and hopeful, THE TIPPING POINT is like the idea it describes: concise, elegant but packed with social power. A book for anyone who cares about how society works and how we can make it better' George Stephanopoulos©2000 Malcolm Gladwell Advertising Business Ethics Marketing Marketing & Sales Social Sciences Workplace & Organisational Behavior

Critic reviews

A wonderful page-turner about a fascinating idea that should affect the way every thinking person thinks about the world around him
Hip and hopeful, THE TIPPING POINT is like the idea it describes: concise, elegant but packed with social power
Genuinely fascinating and frequently startling . . . The kind of book from which you'll be regaling your friends with intriguing snippets for weeks to come
A wonderfully offbeat study of that little-understood phenomenon, the social epidemic
All stars

Although now dated in parts, nonetheless fascinating insights into how little things matter in terms of creating change.

A stimulating read

I very much enjoyed this book, an easy listen and yet plenty to take in and absorb... It came recommend to me a long time ago and I wish I'd listened to it sooner. It was full of great information to demonstrate the points made, I'll be letting it mull over in the background and also take action on a couple of things too.

Insightful Information

Some interesting pieces of research explained but also many chapters dedicated to relatively boring (my personal opinion) ‘tipping points’. Had to struggle through these to finish the book
