I read this a few years ago. Such a great, simple truth, easily overlooked. Gladwell writes very comfortably, almost conversationally, tossing in stories in a casual way that turns out to be right on the point. Again and again, I found myself thinking, "Huh... I didn't know I knew that!" or "So that's why...!"
If you're looking for hard data, tersely delivered, you might be impatient with Gladwell's style; but if you can slow it down a bit for a casual journey, you will find at the end that the whole "tipping point" concept will be a useful and insightful way of understanding that has become part of your perceptions and perspective.
