Tipping Point

This is a book I read about a year back. And if I remember something today, then I believe that book has left some impression. This book is about data. Data gathered and presented well. Malcolm Gladwell does a wonderful job of correlating data. So if you are the kind that says "Show me the data to prove your point", then go for this one. The author starts the book with a Hushpuppies example. They were out of trend and a bunch of teenagers made them the fashion statement. The drop in the crime rate in NY city is another example of a phenomenon that reached the tipping point. This book is not only about mass behavior that causes a huge change but there are examples of personaities too. Overall, I enjoyed this book and would recommend this for a light Sunday afternoon on the deck.
