From Publishers Weekly
From "Soccer Moms," the legendary swing voters of the mid-1990s, to "Late-Breaking Gays" such as former Gov. Games McGreevey (out at age 47), Burson-Marsteller CEO (and campaign adviser to Sen. Hillary Clinton) Penn delves into the ever-splintering societal subsets with which Americans are increasingly identifying, and what they mean. For instance, because of "Extreme Commuters," people who travel more than 90 minutes each way to work, carmakers must come up with ever more luxury seat features, and "fast food restaurants are coming out with whole meals that fit in cup holders." In a chapter titled "Archery Moms?", Penn reports on the "Niching of Sports": much to the consternation of Major League Baseball, "we don't like sports less, we just like little sports more." The net result of all this "niching" is "greater individual satisfaction"; as Penn notes, "not one of the fastest-growing sports in America... depends substantially on teamwork." Penn draws similar lessons in areas of business, culture, technology, diet, politics and education (among other areas), reporting on 70 groups ("Impressionable Elites," "Caffeine Crazies," "Neglected Dads," "Unisexuals," "America's Home-Schooled") while remaining energetic and entertaining throughout. Culture buffs, retailers and especially businesspeople for whom "small is the new big" will value this exercise in nano-sociology.

Book Description
"The ideas in his book will help you see the world in a new way." -Bill Clinton
"Mark Penn has a keen mind and a fascinating sense of what makes America tick, and you see it on every page of Microtrends."
-Bill Gates
In 1982, readers discovered Megatrends.
In 2000, The Tipping Point entered the lexicon.
Now, in Microtrends, one of the most respected and sought-after analysts in the world articulates a new way of understanding how we live.
Mark Penn, the man who identified "Soccer Moms" as a crucial constituency in President Clinton's 1996 reelection campaign, is known for his ability to detect relatively small patterns of behavior in our culture-microtrends that are wielding great influence on business, politics, and our personal lives. Only one percent of the public, or three million people, is enough to launch a business or social movement.
Relying on some of the best data available, Penn identifies more than 70 microtrends in religion, leisure, politics, and family life that are changing the way we live. Among them:
People are retiring but continuing to work.
Teens are turning to knitting.
Geeks are becoming the most sociable people around.
Women are driving technology.
Dads are older than ever and spending more time with their kids than in the past.
You have to look at and interpret data to know what's going on, and that conventional wisdom is almost always wrong and outdated. The nation is no longer a melting pot. We are a collection of communities with many individual tastes and lifestyles. Those who recognize these emerging groups will prosper.
Penn shows readers how to identify the microtrends that can transform a business enterprise, tip an election, spark a movement, or change your life. In today's world, small groups can have the biggest impact.
1.真的不孤独和焦虑了。每种活法都可能是一种小趋势。 2.老美对自己的要求真低。仿佛很容易就被评定为社会栋梁或好公民。 3.老美喜欢自我评价为努力、保守、进取、严格(我们可能正好有相反的印象)。 4.男人女人各有各的喜爱。因此不能拿相同的喜爱来进行匹配。 5.过于强调个...

評分最初注意到这本书,是因为两个比尔:比尔•盖茨和比尔•克林顿。究竟是什么样的人,可以让这两个在政坛和财经界举足轻重的人来背书?如今书才读了一半,却已经忍不住想要来说上两句,真的是一本好书啊! 以克林顿总统、希拉里总统竞选的首席策略师而闻名的马克•佩恩,被...
評分记得关于社会多元化的发展趋势,最早是在马式经典中读到的。关于小趋势,之前虽然一直都知道,但是并没有太在意。真正让我发现其价值的,大约是在一年一前,出于好玩的目的,小小的钻研了一下推荐算法,无意之间发现,居然每个个体记录都是个性化的。 本书列举了大量的资料,...
評分促使我下定决心给这本书写书评的原因,是在我读完书后,猛然意识到,我自己很有可能正不知不觉地身处某一种小趋势中,并且随着与我相近人群的日渐扩大,这个小趋势成为未来主流的概率还相当大。更令我惊奇的是,这种意识一点都不荒唐,身处这个纷繁复杂的社会中的每一个人,都...
