Discover Malcolm Gladwell's breakthrough debut and explore the science behind viral trends in business, marketing, and human behavior.


The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed bestseller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Fascinating…Such knowledge, properly applied, could have enormous potential.” —Chicago Tribune
“Gladwell has a knack for rendering complex theories in clear, elegant prose, and he makes a charismatic tour guide. As a result, the book’s constant movement from one cultural realm to the next…never produces any literary motion sickness.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“Imaginative…It’s hard not to be persuaded by Gladwell’s thesis. Not only does he assemble a fascinating mix of facts in support of his theory…but he also manages to weave everything into a cohesive explanation of human behavior. There’s little doubt that the material will keep you awake.” —Business Week
“A terrifically rewarding read.” —Seattle Times
“Gladwell…offers an incisive and piquant theory of social dynamics that is bound to provoke a paradigm shift in our understanding of mass behavioral change…As he applies his strikingly counterintuitive hypotheses to everything from the ‘stickiness,’ or popularity, of certain children’s television shows to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, Gladwell reveals that our cherished belief in the autonomy of the self is based in great part on wishful thinking.” —Booklist
“A fascinating book that makes you see the world in a different way.” —Fortune
“Fascinating enough for the general reader, Gladwell’s work is a particular boon for businesspeople looking for inspiration on how to tip their own ideas into popular crazes.” —Publishers Weekly
