"The best way to understand the dramatic transformation of unknown books into bestsellers, or the rise of teenage smoking, or the phenomena of word of mouth or any number of the other mysterious changes that mark everyday life," writes Malcolm Gladwell, "is to think of them as epidemics. Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread just like viruses do." Although anyone familiar with the theory of memetics will recognize this concept, Gladwell's The Tipping Point has quite a few interesting twists on the subject.
For example, Paul Revere was able to galvanize the forces of resistance so effectively in part because he was what Gladwell calls a "Connector": he knew just about everybody, particularly the revolutionary leaders in each of the towns that he rode through. But Revere "wasn't just the man with the biggest Rolodex in colonial Boston," he was also a "Maven" who gathered extensive information about the British. He knew what was going on and he knew exactly whom to tell. The phenomenon continues to this day--think of how often you've received information in an e-mail message that had been forwarded at least half a dozen times before reaching you.
Gladwell develops these and other concepts (such as the "stickiness" of ideas or the effect of population size on information dispersal) through simple, clear explanations and entertainingly illustrative anecdotes, such as comparing the pedagogical methods of Sesame Street and Blue's Clues, or explaining why it would be even easier to play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon with the actor Rod Steiger. Although some readers may find the transitional passages between chapters hold their hands a little too tightly, and Gladwell's closing invocation of the possibilities of social engineering sketchy, even chilling, The Tipping Point is one of the most effective books on science for a general audience in ages. It seems inevitable that "tipping point," like "future shock" or "chaos theory," will soon become one of those ideas that everybody knows--or at least knows by name. --Ron Hogan, Amazon.com
Malcolm Gladwell is a former business and science writer at the Washington Post. He is currently a staff writer for The New Yorker.
读这本书历时半年,终于可以关张。总结下,这本书其实是在说“改变”,Tipping Point Theory想说明的问题就是,改变是可以发生的,而且可以通过1.找对关键人物;2.重塑想要传递的信息本身;3.创造更利于改变发生外部环境这三种方式来使改变发生的更迅速,影响范围更大。当我们埋头做事,并希望改变赶紧发生时,不妨抬头看看这几个因素,说不定小小的调整就能带来大大的收获。
评分只用几句话的书何必写成一本书
评分看了一半
评分生动,实用。希望记住里面的点,以后可以应用。配合另一本Nudge食用效果更佳。
评分前面很赞,后面有点鸡肋
一种流行病的爆发需要三个条件,人们传播传染物的行为、传染物本身和传染物发挥作用需要的环境。一个流行潮的爆发,也起因于类似的三个条件,作者称之为个别人物法则、附着力因素、环境威力法则,其中任何一个条件的变化都可能引爆一场流行。 个别人物法则指出,一些特殊的人,...
评分以《Gladwell导读》为题目发在NewYorkerFans小组http://www.douban.com/group/ny/ 另有Gladwell在《纽约客》历年文章精品 Xmeansme 很多人知道Malcolm Gladwell乃是Blink(台版译名:决断两秒间)和Tipping Point(引爆流行)这两本纽约时报榜首...
评分理论论叙太多,看不到亮点。 本书只能做为已发生的现象分析,没有从中学到,到底要做什么事才有可能会引爆流行。 中文译本翻译错误还是有蛮多。 个人觉得本书如果叫《群体效应》可能会更贴主题。
评分《引爆流行》中的“个别人物法则”、“附着力因素法则”、“环境威力法则”很好地解释了流行潮发生的原因。 我尝试着用这三个法则分析了一下“超女”的流行: 个别人物法则:通过组织“超女”们的fans,使“超女”成为联系员。 附着力因素法则(事物传递的信息):用PK、女...
