The ideas in this book will change the way you look at and understand the world around you. I always enjoy the power that books give you to contextualize the world (one of the principles mentioned in this book is aptly named "The Power of Context") and not feel confounded by it.

Like everything else written by Gladwell, this is a great study book. Breaking down the small yet important things that create both good and bad epidemics.

The Tipping Point is basically an idea which refers to the critical crucial extremely small point that we often neglect but it tends to be the biggest cause of an epidemic..
Some of the Tipped epidemics like the rise of Hush Puppies, the fall of New York's crime rate, the spread of syphilis in Baltimore which is highly catalyzed by the agents of change like the Law of the Few, the Stickiness Factor & the Power of Context.
It is quite astonishing that all the major changes we see around in every stream is brought mainly by few people whom we call the Connectors, the Mavens & the Salesmen.
Malcolm Gladwell is I would say a Man of vast knowledge & experience in Economics, Business as well as Psychology. Some of the things I didn't liked about this book was some of the topics like Blue's Clues Stickiness factor & The Unsticky Cigarette like He just started to elaborate an episode of Blues Clues to find the factors as if I was the reader is little child :/ but okay except that part the book was quite interesting I got many things to know...
