Malcolm Gladwell on 'Revenge of the Tipping Point'

Bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell's latest, "Revenge of the Tipping Point," builds on a familiar idea from his books: You may think you know how the world works, but you're wrong! The provocative Gladwell talks with correspondent David Pogue about why he's refused to change his approach, his work ethic, or his contrarianism.

I've read two of his books. His books always give me the push that I need to make changes in my life.

I love this man's work, his perspective, and his voice. You don't have to align with someone to appreciate them.

Fabulous story on Malcolm and his work thanks!

[indestarbright]

I'm an introvert, so sitting at home in my bedroom, in my pajamas, earning a livable wage, is the work life I want to live.

How things have changed since his first book. And fatherhood suits
Mr. Gladwell perfectly.

*It speaks volumes of how far we've digressed culturally when the simple, authentic, act of hearing a renowned figure actually **_apologize_** (and admit hypocrisy) is so jarring due to its scarcity.*

I’ve read a few of his books. My take-away was at least I paid full price and supported my local, family-owned bookstore in Baraboo, Wisconsin.

This is my first time seeing him. Yet I know his voice so well after listening to 11 seasons of Revisionist History. His more in depth work Guns, Development Hell, and Hitler’s Olympics are all so well done.

Malcolm Gladwell's popularity has reached a Tipping Point.

[taylor-iw]

I can’t believe he is 61! I always thought he was younger than me! Wow!

[MyBeautifulBeauty]

I was exposed to one of his books ‘the outliers’ in college. I loved his work after that

Malcolm provides context, which is all we can hope for. his podcast about the Mexican border is a must-listen.

This will be an interesting read. As a Gladwell lover who lost most respect I had for him during (and following) the Monk Debate, I find myself wanting to read this with more scrutiny and skepticism than I have in the past.

[emmgeevideo]

But seriously folks... I subscribed to his podcast for a while and I feel he traded intellectual contributions for volume of output. I stopped listening because I felt he wasn't contributing much. Also a lot of his podcasts are infomercials.

[amazingsnow]

I have learn so much from his books and more for using his information in real life

[mililaniman]

The books of Malcolm Gladwell are always thought provoking. I can't wait to read his new book.

This reporter missed another impressive stat about Gladwell, he's a top runner in his age group (and better than most-all around).

[JG-qtpn]

I've read and enjoyed several of his books but I saw another side of him during a Munk Debate with Douglas Murray, Matt Taibbi, and Michelle Goldberg.

[breathspinecore]

I was not expecting Malcom Gladwell to have a giant framed portrait of Mao hanging/looming right over his writing space. That was odd.

[ChiTownHQ]

It's cool that he has become a father recently.
