Reviews"Gladwell gives us a sort of interactive nonfiction, not unlike a detective story... Revenge of the Tipping Point essentially asks why we were all so ready to think anything that spreads like a virus could be good for us. In the first book we had connectors, mavens and salesmen. Now we have overstories, superspreaders and social engineering...The match that so elegantly graced the cover of The Tipping Point is now on fire."-- Frank Rose, Wall Street Journal, "In Revenge of the Tipping Point, splashy theories abound, as they do in Gladwell's podcast, Revisionist History... He turns the conceit [of The Tipping Point ]on its head, examining the forces that drive negative epidemics, which to him felt more attuned to our present moment."-- Emma Goldberg, New York Times, "An astute and bracing appraisal of how cultures succeed or fail...Gladwell deftly demonstrates how attention to statistics and data points can shape a business, school, or community"-- Booklist

SynopsisAN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Most Anticipated in: AARP Associated Press Time Magazine Oprah Daily Chicago Tribune Literary Hub Publishers Weekly Publishers Lunch 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 is Miami...Miami? What does the heartbreaking fate of the cheetah tell us about the way we raise our children? Why do Ivy League schools care so much about sports? What is the Magic Third, and what does it mean for racial harmony? In this provocative new work, Malcolm Gladwell returns for the first time in twenty-five years to the subject of social epidemics and tipping points, this time with the aim of explaining the dark side of contagious phenomena. Through a series of riveting stories, Gladwell traces the rise of a new and troubling form of social engineering. He takes us to the streets of Los Angeles to meet the world's most successful bank robbers, rediscovers a forgotten television show from the 1970s that changed the world, visits the site of a historic experiment on a tiny cul-de-sac in northern California, and offers an alternate history of two of the biggest epidemics of our day: COVID and the opioid crisis. Revenge of the Tipping Point is Gladwell's most personal book yet. With his characteristic mix of storytelling and social science, he offers a guide to making sense of the contagions of modern world. It's time we took tipping points seriously.

An interesting read! Loved reading about super spreaders, the COVID pandemic, and the opioid crisis. It provides lots of "food for thought" about many things we take for granted in our society.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
