past decade Malcolm Gladwell has written three books that have radically changed how we understand our world and ourselves The Tipping Point Blink and Outliers Now in What the Dog Saw he brings together for the first time the best of his writing from The New Yorker over the same period r Here is the bittersweet tale of the inventor of the birth control pill and the dazzling inventions of the pasta sauce pioneer Howard Moscowitz Gladwell sits with Ron Popeil the king of the American kitchen as he sells rotisserie ovens and divines the secrets of Cesar Millan the dog whisperer who can calm savage animals with the touch of his hand He explores intelligence tests and ethnic profiling and hindsight bias and why it was that everyone in Silicon Valley once tripped over themselves to hire the

Have a Little Faith the story of a faith journey that could become a classic Those who were born into faith have lost faith or are still searching will all be engaged and challenged by this powerful story of finding faith in relationships with others and with something greater than ourselves Never satisfied with easy answers or soft platitudes Mitch explores some of lifes greatest mysteries and unanswered questions with great honesty depth and self reflection r --Jim Wallis CEO and Founder of Sojourners and author of The Great Awakening What if our beliefs were not what divided us but what pulled us together In Have a Little Faith Mitch Albom offers a beautifully written story of a remarkable eight-year journey between two worlds--two men two faiths two communities--that will inspire readers everywhere Alboms first nonfiction book since Tuesdays with Morrie Have a Little Faith begins with an unusual request an eighty-two-year-old rabbi from Alboms old hometown asks him to deliver his eulogy Feeling unworthy Albom insists on understanding the man better which throws him back into a world of faith hed left years ago Meanwhile closer to his current home Albom becomes involved with a Detroit pastor--a reformed drug dealer and convict--who preaches to the poor and homeless in a decaying church with a hole in its roof Moving between their worlds Christian and Jewish African-American and white impoverished and well-to-do Albom observes how these very different men employ faith similarly in fighting for survival the older suburban rabbi embracing it as death approaches the younger inner-city pastor relying on it to keep himself and his church afloat As America struggles with hard times and people turn more to their beliefs Albom and the two men of God explore issues that perplex modern man how to endure when difficult things happen what heaven is intermarriage forgiveness doubting God and the importance of faith in trying times Although the texts prayers and histories are different Albom begins to recognize a striking unity between the two worlds--and indeed between beliefs everywhere In the end as the rabbi nears death and a harsh winter

stunning new book Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of outliers --the best and the brightest the most famous and the most successful He asks the question what makes high-achievers different His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like and too little attention to where they are from that is their culture their family their generation and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires what it takes to be a great soccer player why Asians are good at math and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band R/ R/ R/ Brilliant and entertaining OUTLIERS is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate Amazon Best of the Month November 2008 / Now that hes gotten us talking about the viral life of ideas and the power of gut reactions Malcolm Gladwell poses a more provocative question in em Outliers / em why do some people succeed living remarkably productive and impactful lives while so many more never reach their potential Challenging our cherished belief of the self-made man he makes the democratic assertion that superstars dont arise out of nowhere propelled by genius and talent they are invariably the beneficiaries of hidden advantages and extraordinary opportunities and cultural legacies that allow them to learn and work hard and make sense of the world in ways others cannot Examining the lives of outliers from Mozart to Bill Gates he builds a convincing case for how successful people rise on a tide of advantages some deserved some not some earned some just plain lucky r / r / em Outliers / em can be enjoyed for its bits of trivia like why most pro hockey players were born in January how many hours of practice it takes to master a skill why the descendents of Jewish immigrant garment workers became the most powerful lawyers in New York how a pilots culture impacts their crash record how a centuries-old culture of rice farming helps Asian kids master math But theres more to it than that Throughout all of these examples--and in more that delve into the social benefits of lighter skin color and the reasons for school achievement gaps--Gladwell invites conversations about the complex ways privilege manifests in our culture He leaves us pondering the gifts of our own history and how the world could benefit if more of our kids were granted the opportunities to fulfill their remarkable potential -- em Mari Malcolm / em r/ r/ Divine Soul Mind Body Healing and Transmission System: The Divine Way to Heal You,

a This celebrated New York Times bestsellernow poised to reach an even wider audience in paperbackis a book that is changing the way North Americans think about selling products and disseminating ideas Gladwells new afterword to this edition describes how readers can constructively apply the tipping point principle in their own lives and work Widely hailed as an important work that offers not only a road map to business success but also a profoundly encouraging approach to solving social problems The best way to understand the dramatic transformation of unknown books into bestsellers or the rise of teenage smoking or the phenomena of word of mouth or any number of the other mysterious changes that mark everyday life writes Malcolm Gladwell is to think of them as epidemics Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread just like viruses do Although anyone familiar with the theory of memetics will recognize this concept Gladwells The Tipping Point has quite a few interesting twists on the subject For example Paul Revere was able to galvanize the forces of resistance so effectively in part because he was what Gladwell calls a Connector he knew just about everybody particularly the revolutionary leaders in each of the towns that he rode through But Revere wasnt just the man with the biggest Rolodex in colonial Boston he was also a Maven who gathered extensive information about the British He knew what was going on and he knew exactly whom to tell The phenomenon continues to this day--think of how often youve received information in an e-mail message that had been forwarded at least half a dozen times before reaching you Gladwell develops these and other concepts such as the stickiness of ideas or the effect of population size on information dispersal through simple clear explanations and entertainingly illustrative anecdotes such as comparing the pedagogical methods of Sesame Street and Blues Clues or explaining why it would be even easier to play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon with the actor Rod Steiger Although some readers may find the transitional passages between chapters hold their hands a little too tightly and Gladwells closing invocation of the possibilities of social engineering sketchy even chilling The Tipping Point is one of the most effective books on science for a general audience in ages It seems inevitable that tipping point like future shock or chaos theory will soon become one of those ideas that everybody knows--or at least knows by name --Ron Hogan Knockout: Interviews with Doctors Who Are Curing Cancer--And How to
