Can Progressives use Tipping Points?
Just knocked out another Malcom Gladwell goody, The Tipping Point. Not as good as Outliers (in fact, I got bored in the last chapter), but an interesting read nonetheless. While the the lessons
to be learned make a standard read for entrepreneurs and businessmen and marketers, I'm wondering whether or not the lessons can be applied to progressive causes and ideas.
Outstanding Questions for Outliers
Just knocked back Malcom Gladwell's brain candy Outliers like it was a shot of Jameson, minus the nasty hangover. Outliers is an easy and engaging read, I finished it in less than a day, so it's worth a go if you have a moment to spare. Hell, why not? Everyone seems to be reading it.
Couple of things I thought about. First, where are the women at!?!? All of Gladwell's outlier examples are male. Bill Gates. Bill Joy. Steve Jobs. Chris Langan. And so on.
