Over the past decade, Malcolm Gladwell has become the most gifted and influential journalist in America. In The New Yorker, his writings are such must-reads that the magazine charges advertisers significantly more money for ads that run within his articles. With his #1 bestsellers, The Tipping Point , Blink and Outliers , he has reached millions of readers. And now the very best and most famous of his New Yorker pieces are collected in a brilliant and provocative anthology. Among the pieces: his investigation into why there are so many different kinds of mustard but only one kind of ketchup; a surprising assessment of what makes for a safer automobile; a look at how we hire when we can't tell who's right for the job; an examination of machine built to predict hit movies; the reasons why homelessness might be easier to solve than manage; his famous profile of inventor and entrepreneur Ron Popeil; a look at why employers love personality tests; a dissection of Ivy League admissions and who gets in; the saga of the quest to invent the perfect cookie; and a look at hair dye and the hidden history of postwar America.
For the millions of Malcolm Gladwell fans, this anthology is like a greatest hits compilation-a mix tape from America's alpha mind
【加】馬爾科姆•格拉德威爾(Malcolm Gladwell)被《快公司》譽為“21世紀的彼得•德魯剋”,曾是《華盛頓郵報》商務科學專欄作傢,目前是《紐約客》雜誌專職作傢。2005年被《時代》周刊評為全球最有影響力的100位人物之一。他的代錶作品《引爆點》、《異類》、《眨眼之間》均創造瞭書市神話。《紐約時報》更是把格拉德威爾對社會思潮的影響稱為“格拉德威爾效應”(Gladwell Effect)。

四年后,也即是2007年,Gladwell就安然事件撰写的第二篇文章“The open secrect”(《公开的秘密》)发表。在转述此篇旧文之前,且耍个花枪,来看看新闻——美国SEC诉高盛案(SEC在一项民事诉讼中,起诉高盛公司误导、欺骗投资者)。 此间曲折,还数维基百科“高盛”词条说得...
評分1. 暴富 英雄,就是那些做到了我们想去做却没有胆量做的人. 行动之前,请审视下,自己有没有承担最坏结果的能力和勇气. 2.真实的色彩 在世俗的眼光下, 做任何事都需要给出合理的理由. 幸好,"理由"就想"借口", 要想总归是有的. 3约翰洛克的错误 原来避孕药是个男人发明出来的. ...
評分第一篇 The Pitchman 副题是“Ron Popeil及对美国厨房的征服”。 Ron Popeil的家族企业征服了美国家庭的厨房,他们开发的厨房用具广受欢迎,且新品不断涌现。该企业之所以成功,作者认为,是两种家族特质——Pitchman(姑译为“推销员”)和Tinter(姑译为“小工匠”)—结...
評分What the dog saw,我译做《狗之所见》,乃是Malcolm Gladwell为《纽约客》撰写的专栏文章之合集,计有十九篇。Gladwell是《纽约客》的签约作家,之前出过三本书,即Ourliers、Blink和《引爆点》(The Tipping Point),都有大名,尤其是最后一本。不过我久已不看英文书,就这...
