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

评分格拉德威尔的才华和文笔是无可否认的,但不知道这次中信出版社是否急功近利为了搭异类的畅销快车,连校对翻译都没有就匆忙出版了。 我非常失望,不是对格拉德威尔,而是这本书的翻译,简直是无语了,我觉得找国内字幕组的人员来翻译都要来得精确幽默。
评分第八篇 Million-Dollar Murray 副题是:“为什么无家可归一类的问题解决容易、而管理起来难?” Gladwell在本文中说的一半纯属滥调。他把“八二原则”又举例说明了一通,不过他用的是统计学里的术语——(Power Law)“幂律”。题目中的“Murray”是个“死硬”的流浪汉,而叫...
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...
