Review
I’m getting a little tired of Gladwell.
This book is about the little things that make situations, phenomena, and epidemics “tip”. Apparently, they involve: the right people, the right ideas, and the right contexts. Quel surprise.
Perhaps I’m merely living in a post-Gladwell world, where his previously radical thinking is just assumed truth.
This is the floating abode of Henry Li (that’s me!), a biomedical engineer by name and an intractable dilettante by trade.

True story. Outliers was his best IMO. Blink was meh. The rest stunk as much as your Stink.

I liked Andrew Gelman’s perspective, dropping the idea of the “auto-gladwell” non-fiction. It’s become its own genre!
