Malcolm Gladwell is one of my favorite authors. He writes like a journalist who has done a lot of his research on whatever topic he chooses to write a book about. I have read several of his books and though each one is different, each one is equally good.
The tipping point is really interesting and I found one of the most interesting things to be regarding the topic of school shootings and suicide. The author finds and writes about information including how things get to the "tipping point" and why once they achieve that level of popularity, why they eventually tip and just continue to incline.

When I read the first several chapters, I had very high hope towards it, but after that I didn't actually find some concrete new ideas not already seen around. What the author highlights in his book is already obviously important in my culture.

A good earlier work from Gladwell.

Bill Clinton swore by it. And if you've even tried to read Clinton's self serving, unrevealing, white washing biography, you'll know that endorsement's worth absolutely nothing. Clinton would endorse a pancake.
The Tipping Point claims to have discovered uranium. In fact, it is chaos theory applied to life - the tipping point occurs when the tap stops dripping and starts running; the heart beat that keeps going instead of stopping; a pattern when there appears not to be one.
In short, it is pretentious nonsense. There's a moment when something flips over from failure to success. It can be the kismet of something that just happens, usually a person.Paul Revere was such a person.
Well, woopy doo, Clinton was a do nothing president, if you leave aside his love life, and this is a do-nothing book.

I thought Gladwell presented some interesting ideas and points of view. I thoroughly enjoyed the read. Made for some interesting conversation with the youth in my school and in general. On to the next one: Blink. Will report on that one later. I am not a speedy reader on these books.

Not as good as his other books, and he way overemphasized some points.
