Twenty-five years after the publication of his groundbreaking first book, Malcolm Gladwell returns with a brand new volume that reframes the lessons of The Tipping Point in a startling and revealing light. Why in the late 1980s and early '90s did Los Angeles become the bank robbery capital of the world? What is the Magic Third and what does it have to do with racial equity? What do big cats and clusters of teen suicide have in common? These are just some of the questions Malcolm Gladwell addresses in this provocative new work, which revisits the phenomenon of social epidemics and examines the ways in which we have learned to tinker with and shape the spread of ideas, viruses, and trends--sometimes with great success, sometimes with disastrous consequences. Gladwell shows that--whether in neighborhoods, schools, zoos, or conference rooms--today's epidemics are turbocharged versions of their earlier counterparts, and we are more tempted than ever to try to manipulate tipping points for o

An exploration of how technology and best intentions collide in the heat of war A New York Times Book Review Editors' ChoiceIn The Bomber Mafia, Malcolm Gladwell weaves together the stories of a Dutch genius and his homemade computer, a band of brothers in central Alabama, a British psychopath, and pyromaniacal chemists at Harvard to examine one of the greatest moral challenges in modern American history. Most military thinkers in the years leading up to World War II saw the airplane as an afterthought. But a small band of idealistic strategists, the "Bomber Mafia," asked: What if precision bombing could cripple the enemy and make war far less lethal? In contrast, the bombing of Tokyo on the deadliest night of the war was the brainchild of General Curtis LeMay, whose brutal pragmatism and scorched-earth tactics in Japan cost thousands of civilian lives, but may have spared even more by averting a planned US invasion. In The Bomber Mafia, Gladwell asks, "Was it worth it?" Things might h

Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outliers, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers--and why they often go wrong. A Best Book of the Year: The Financial Times, Bloomberg, Chicago Tribune, and Detroit Free Press How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to one another that isn't true? Talking to Strangers is a classically Gladwellian intellectual adventure, a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology, and scandals taken straight from the news. He revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal at Penn State University, and the death of Sandra Bland--throwing our understanding of these and other stories

Explore the power of the underdog in Malcolm Gladwell's dazzling examination of success, motivation, and the role of adversity in shaping our lives, from the bestselling author ofThe Bomber Mafia.Three thousand years ago on a battlefield in ancient Palestine, a shepherd boy felled a mighty warrior with nothing more than a stone and a sling, and ever since then the names of David and Goliath have stood for battles between underdogs and giants. David's victory was improbable and miraculous.

《Outliers》一書中，Malcolm Gladwell帶領讀者探討「成功」背後的真相。那些被稱為天才或菁英的人，真的只是靠個人天賦嗎？作者以清晰的論證與生動的案例指出，成就往往源自環境、文化、家庭背景與時代機緣的交織。例如披頭四的音樂歷程、Bill Gates的早期經驗、以及冰球選手的生日規律，都揭示了機會與努力之間的微妙平衡。本書不僅重新定義「成功」，也讓人重新思考教育與社會公平的可能。In this stunning investigation of success, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on a journey through the world of "outliers"-the best, brightest, and most famous-asking the question: what makes high-achievers different? Gladwell argues that in order to solve this riddle we must focus on the contributing elements around the successful-their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way, he explains what the Beatles and Bill Gates share in common, the reason you've never heard of the smartest man in the world, why almost no star hockey players are born in the fall, and why Columbian and South Korean airplane pilots are more likely to crash. Brilliant and entertaining, Outliers is a landmark work that will transform the way we understand suc

《引爆趨勢》、《決斷2秒間》作者爆炸頭鬼才葛拉威爾，再度挑戰你對「成功」的常識，甫上市即攻占全美最重要媒體書榜第一名！你以為，這又是一本老生常談的成功學？No！葛拉威爾把成功學這樣的常數，變成了異數。亞洲人數學比較好，是因為祖先種稻？披頭四的音樂功力，是用超時工作換來的？音樂神童莫札特，其實是「大器晚成」的作曲家？大韓航空大幅降低失事率，竟是因為機長把英文學好了！成功和你想的不一樣！除了天賦、家世、學歷、努力還不夠，歐巴馬、比爾蓋茲、賈伯斯、巴菲特、王永慶、張忠謀、施振榮……這些人之所以超群成為「異數」，還牽涉周遭的人和環境。葛拉威爾引用大量統計科學辯證，大開我們的視野，重新發現「出身」的意義：誰能成功，多少人能成功，要看我們生活在什麼樣的社會。聰明才智、雄心壯志不足以恃，你需要超過一萬個小時的努力。投胎時機很重要，生逢其時，生對家庭，你的贏面比較大。成功不僅要有點運氣，最好幸運一直來敲門。一己之力絕對不夠，家人、貴人、陌生人，整個社會集體助你向上提升。共同點是：他們都是電子大亨，且都出生於1955年前後。但是，為什麼是1955年？如果你想在1975年個人電腦誕生那年做出一番轟轟烈烈的大事，要是你大學畢業很多年了，那你已經是老鳥，房子買了，老婆也娶了，小寶寶不久就要報到，怎有可能放棄穩定的工作，為玩具一樣的個人電腦拋頭顱、灑熱血？年紀太小又不成，那時你若還是中學生，就沒搞頭了。所以，能在1975年恭逢電腦革命風潮，年紀既不能太大，又不能太小，最理想的年齡則是20或21歲，亦即是1954年或1955年出生的人。也就是說，即使你具有像比爾蓋茲或史提夫．賈伯斯那樣的的天份，想成為異數，你還得生對時間！你從未真正看清楚屬於你的成功！葛拉威爾說：不是最聰明的人就可以成功，正確的決定或努力不懈，也不能保證；要成功，除了必須有把握「機會」的智慧、善用特有的「文化」遺澤；必要時，還得脫離部分的身分，擺脫傳統的束縛。本書中文版《異數》由時報文化出版In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most s

在《The Tipping Point》中，Malcolm Gladwell探討社會變化的關鍵時刻——那個使觀念、潮流或行為「臨界轉折」的瞬間。當影響力跨越某個閾值，就能像野火般迅速蔓延。作者以簡潔有力的筆調，結合心理學與社會學觀點，解釋為何某些現象能在短時間內擴散開來，無論是流行文化、疾病傳播，或社會運動。本書啟發讀者重新理解「改變」的運作機制，也思考如何善用這股力量。'A wonderful page-turner about a fascinating idea that should affect the way every thinking person thinks about the world around him' Michael LewisIn this brilliant and original book, Malcolm Gladwell explains and analyses the 'tipping point', that magic moment when ideas, trends and social behaviour cross a threshold, tip and spread like wildfire. Taking a look behind the surface of many familiar occurrences in our everyday world, Gladwell explains the fascinating social dynamics that cause rapid change.
