About this listen

In this brilliant and original audiobook, 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.

Critic reviews

"A wonderful page-turner about a fascinating idea that should affect the way every thinking person thinks about the world around him." (Michael Lewis)

"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)

Loved this book about how social trends are powered. Written just before the internet really became ubiquitous so not sure if it needs to be revised in this light. Really well written and very compelling. Wanted to read more from him. Minor point, I have gathered that there are now other interpretations about Zimbardo's Prison guard work that question its reliability of its methodology.
