What is the difference between choking and panicking? Why are there dozens of varieties of mustard-but only one variety of ketchup? What do football players teach us about how to hire teachers? What does hair dye tell us about the history of the 20th century?
In the past decade, Malcolm Gladwell has written three books that have radically changed how we understand our world and ourselves: The Tipping Point; Blink; and Outliers. Now, in What the Dog Saw, he brings together, for the first time, the best of his writing from TheNew Yorker over the same period.
Here is the bittersweet tale of the inventor of the birth control pill, and the dazzling inventions of the pasta sauce pioneer Howard Moscowitz. Gladwell sits with Ron Popeil, the king of the American kitchen, as he sells rotisserie ovens, and divines the secrets of Cesar Millan, the "dog whisperer" who can calm savage animals with the touch of his hand. He explores intelligence tests and ethnic profiling and "hindsight bias" and why it was that everyone in Silicon Valley once tripped over themselves to hire the same college graduate.
"Good writing," Gladwell says in his preface, "does not succeed or fail on the strength of its ability to persuade. It succeeds or fails on the strength of its ability to engage you, to make you think, to give you a glimpse into someone else's head."What the Dog Saw is yet another example of the buoyant spirit and unflagging curiosity that have made Malcolm Gladwell our most brilliant investigator of the hidden extraordinary.

看了这本书才知道原来欧莱雅的广告语原文是“worth it”,顿时觉得比“值得拥有”带劲儿多了;也是看了这本书才知道一句“worth it”已经有了三四十年的历史了。于是去搜化妆品广告来看,发现除了最早版本的“I'm worth it”和流传最广的“you're worth it”,最近又有了“we'r...
评分一 我记得好像是休谟说,他那个时候的苏格兰农民一辈子所活动的地方不足十几英里,知道的事情也不过邻里家常。或许,这才是人类的常态,是百万年进化中人类最惬意、最适应的形态。生物进化是缓慢的。但是我们发展出了快速进化的文化。这就意味着,我们的生理上的硬件还是原始祖...
