Malcolm Gladwell

Now who would have thought that this guy would be THE Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point and Blink, both must reads for late bloomer intelectualize-ers like myself. I figured him to be some guy with a bald head and thick eyebrows, a camel hair jacket, double Windsor knot, plaid button down shirt.

The Tipping Point is an examination of the social epidemics that surround us. Blink examines the smallest components of our experience, the content and origin of those instantaneous impressions and conclusions that bubble up whenever we meet a new person, or confront a complex situation, or have to make a decision under conditions of stress. I live by the concepts in these books. More on Malcolm, http://www.gladwell.com/index.html
