【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)。
馬爾科姆齣生於英格蘭,是牙買加人的後裔。他在加拿大長大,現居紐約市。
What is the difference between choking and panicking? Why are there dozens of varieties of mustard-but only one variety of ketchup? What do football players teach us about how to hire teachers? What does hair dye tell us about the history of the 20 th century?
In the past decade, Malcolm Gladwell has written three books that have radically changed how we understand our world and ourselves: The Tipping Point ; Blink ; and Outliers. Now, in What the Dog Saw , he brings together, for the first time, the best of his writing from The New Yorker over the same period.
Here is the bittersweet tale of the inventor of the birth control pill, and the dazzling inventions of the pasta sauce pioneer Howard Moscowitz. Gladwell sits with Ron Popeil, the king of the American kitchen, as he sells rotisserie ovens, and divines the secrets of Cesar Millan, the "dog whisperer" who can calm savage animals with the touch of his hand. He explores intelligence tests and ethnic profiling and "hindsight bias" and why it was that everyone in Silicon Valley once tripped over themselves to hire the same college graduate.
"Good writing," Gladwell says in his preface, "does not succeed or fail on the strength of its ability to persuade. It succeeds or fails on the strength of its ability to engage you, to make you think, to give you a glimpse into someone else's head." What the Dog Saw is yet another example of the buoyant spirit and unflagging curiosity that have made Malcolm Gladwell our most brilliant investigator of the hidden extraordinary.
由于之前首次接触到纳西姆•塔勒布的书,于是我百度了一下塔勒布其人,一篇题为《暴富:纳西姆•塔勒布是怎样将不可避免的灾难转化为一种投资战略》的文章吸引了我。这篇文章写在《黑天鹅》一书出版的几年前,以1996年的某一天塔勒布拜访维克多•尼德霍夫开头。尼德霍夫...
評分 評分四年后,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...
評分此书是作者跨度10多年的文章,每篇文章都是一个独立的故事,从一种视角进行切入,体现了作者的洞察力,如此的有意思。 引爆点 异类 我看了,但我对异类的评价很低,至少当时看来就应该是那样,但现在回想,是不是对作者的期望太高了呢?阅读异类的时候,也总希望看到 引爆...
評分这将是我买Malcolm Gladwell的最后一本书。 我曾经是他的铁杆读者,从他的Tipping Point, Blink, The Power of Thinking without Thinking, 到Outlier,我一本书也没有漏掉过。从最开始对他独到的见地感叹,到慢慢有点厌倦,到这本书彻底的失望。 外国人有个习惯(本来想说“...
