read "The Tipping Point"

Really interesting subject. I would recommend it along with “Freakonomics” I will definately be watching for trends . Great read! :)

For some more delightful storytelling by Gladwell, check out these short tales from two of my favorite podcasts – perverse and often baffling at The Moth and What we can learn from spaghetti sauce at TED Talks.

I have finally gotten my book loan. So far this is a really interesting read. Im going to try to take it slow though so I will get more out of it. :)

I have been thinking about reading this for about two years. The time is now!, well its on my list now :)
Audere est facere

because it just makes more sense!

• Paul Revere’s ride
• Sesame Street
• Blue’s Clues
• Voter manipulation by smiling on TV
• Kitty Genovese
• Micronesia suicides
• Smoking addiction
• Drug addiction (real figures)

This book is incredible. There are some very incredible and carefully thought out observations in this book that absolutely blew my mind. I love the image of the dog playing outside in the cold, and at 33 degrees it is just cold, but below 32 degrees, though it is a barely noticable change, snow suddenly can and often will form.

I was just introduced to the concept of memes that was made popular by Richard Dawkins and his book “the selfish gene”.

I’m going to read Dawkins books next!

I am finished. I just do NOT read non-fiction well. I didn’t think I was EVER, ever, ever going to finish. But, I did and now…it is done!

Funny, informative and above all brilliant book.
