Sean Gallagher recently tweeted:
Oh look, the Triumphalism Trilogy is now a boxed set.
In case you are unfamiliar with the series, The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers.
Although entertaining reads, particularly The Tipping Point (IMHO), Gladwell does not describe how to recognize a tipping point in advance of it being a tipping point, nor how to make good decisions without thinking (Blink) or how to recognize human potential before success (Outliers).
Tipping points, good decisions and human potential can be recognized only when they are manifested.
As you can tell from Gladwell’s book sales, selling the hope of knowing the unknowable, remains a viable market.
