The Tipping Point

Published September 20, 2010 Books , Reviews 2 Comments

Ever wondered why Barack Obama, who was just another politician not so long ago, suddenly became a household name and went on to become US president?

Ever wondered how Dev D, which didnt have big marketing or a big starcast, became such a big hit?

Ever wondered why most engineers try for an MBA, whether they want/like to do it or not?

The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell tries to explain the factors that make some ideas/products/brands/movies click.

259 pages. It is an interesting and enlightening read with good case studies.

Read it if you are interested in understanding human psychology/social behaviour. You might just get some answers to the questions posed at the start of this post.

Another example of an idea that became huge, out of the blue: Twitter.
