For the August Nonfiction Book Discussion, we will be reading The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference by Malcolm Gladwell. Gladwell is the author of the bestselling Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking and a staff writer at The New Yorker. Through his clear, elegant prose and cohesive use of a broad range of examples from the fashion world, children's educational programming, New York City crime rates, bestseller lists, teen smoking rates and more, Gladwell illuminates how small things make a big difference in social epidemics. According to Fortune, The Tipping Point is "[a] fascinating book that makes you see the world in a different way." We will meet at 7:00 p.m. in Meeting Room B at Main Library at 68 Calhoun Street in downtown Charleston.

Looking forward to the discussion under Kate's thoughtful guidance as always. I have not finished reading The Tipping Point yet, but find it engaging reading.
ReplyDeleteMust confess to being a little hung up on Gladwell's grouping of everything in 3's... Although this is the first Gladwell book I have read, I am familiar with his thought-provoking pieces that appear in The New Yorker.
