My Reviews
These reviews are often done long after reading (which isnât ideal), so itâs very possible I misremember details. See all my highlights (and the supplementals - ones recommended by readwise) in the links above.
The Tipping Point is a book by Malcolm Gladwell that talks about social epidemics.
Strength of Weak Ties
This is the idea that people who are not in your normal social circle can introduce you to new perspectives.
This reminds me of the immense value of conferences and âhallway tracksâ.
Three Rules of the Tipping Point
These rules allow us to try to study and influence if/when a tipping point may occur.
The Law of the Few
The Stickiness Factor
The Power of Context
Mavens, Connectors,
Flaws
Broken Windows Theory
Malcolm later apologies for this section regarding the broken window theory. He admits that he failed to attribute other issues and problematic policing behaviour that came from this.
