Over the past decade, Malcolm Gladwell has become the most gifted and influential journalist in America. In The New Yorker, his writings are such must-reads that the magazine charges advertisers significantly more money for ads that run within his articles. With his #1 bestsellers, The Tipping Point , Blink and Outliers , he has reached millions of readers. And now the very best and most famous of his New Yorker pieces are collected in a brilliant and provocative anthology. Among the pieces: his investigation into why there are so many different kinds of mustard but only one kind of ketchup; a surprising assessment of what makes for a safer automobile; a look at how we hire when we can't tell who's right for the job; an examination of machine built to predict hit movies; the reasons why homelessness might be easier to solve than manage; his famous profile of inventor and entrepreneur Ron Popeil; a look at why employers love personality tests; a dissection of Ivy League admissions and who gets in; the saga of the quest to invent the perfect cookie; and a look at hair dye and the hidden history of postwar America.
For the millions of Malcolm Gladwell fans, this anthology is like a greatest hits compilation-a mix tape from America's alpha mind

评分这将是我买Malcolm Gladwell的最后一本书。 我曾经是他的铁杆读者,从他的Tipping Point, Blink, The Power of Thinking without Thinking, 到Outlier,我一本书也没有漏掉过。从最开始对他独到的见地感叹,到慢慢有点厌倦,到这本书彻底的失望。 外国人有个习惯(本来想说“...
评分格拉德威尔是个另辟蹊径的天才,他讲故事的功力似乎已经到了随心所欲的境界,他习惯于将一件复杂的事抽丝剥茧,透析背后的行为模式。他讲故事总是将几个故事杂糅在一起,从不让人觉得枯燥,反而用这种彼此论证的方式来表现他对模式的敏锐观察力。 在上一本《逆...
