Personality, Character, and Intelligence
!--StartFragment--What is the difference between choking and panicking? Why are there dozens of varieties of mustard-but only one variety of ketchup? What do football players teach us about how to hire teachers? What does hair dye tell us about the history of the 20th century? In the 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 TheNew Yorker over the same period. 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 same college graduate. "Good writing," Gladwell says in his preface, "does not succeed or fail on the strength of its ability to persuade. It succeeds or fails on the strength of its ability to engage you, to make you think, to give you a glimpse into someone else''s head." What the Dog Saw is yet another example of the buoyant spirit and unflagging curiosity that have made Malcolm Gladwell our most brilliant investigator of the hidden extraordinary. !--EndFragment--

What the Dog Saw

release date: Jan 01, 2009
What the Dog Saw
Malcolm Gladwell is the master of playful yet profound insight. His ability to see underneath the surface of the seemingly mundane taps into a fundamental human impulse: curiosity. From criminology to ketchup, job interviews to dog training, Gladwell takes everyday subjects and shows us surprising new ways of looking at them, and the world around us. Are smart people overrated? What can pit bulls teach us about crime? Why are problems like homelessness easier to solve than to manage? How do we hire when we can’t tell who’s right for the job? Gladwell explores the minor geniuses, the underdogs and the overlooked, and reveals how every-one and everything contains an intriguing story. What the Dog Saw is Gladwell at his very best – asking questions and seeking answers in his inimitable style. What the Dog Saw is Gladwell at his very best – asking questions and seeking answers in his inimitable style. Sophisticated, surprising and always entertaining.

Outliers (fueras de serie)

Outliers (fueras de serie)
In this 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.

HauptbeschreibungMalcolm Gladwell, Bestsellerautor und Star des amerikanischen Buchmarkts, hat die wahren Ursachen des Erfolgs untersucht und darüber ein lehrreiches, faszinierendes Buch geschrieben. Es steckt voller Geschichten und Beispiele, die zeigen, dass auch außergewöhnlicher Erfolg selten etwas mit individuellen Eigenschaften zu tun hat, sondern mit Gegebenheiten, die es dem einen leicht und dem anderen unmöglich machen, erfolgreich zu sein. Die Frage ist nicht, wie jemand ist, sondern woher er kommt: Welche Bedingungen haben diesen Menschen hervorgebracht? Auf seiner anregenden intell.

The Tipping Point

La intel·ligència intuïtiva.

release date: Jan 01, 2005
La intel·ligència intuïtiva.
La intel·ligència intuïtiva és un llibre sobre com pensem sense pensar, sobre aquestes decisions que aparentment prenem en un instant —d ́un sol cop d ́ull—, però que en realitat no són tan senzilles com sembla. ¿Per què hi ha persones que segueixen el que els diu l ́instint i l ́encerten, mentre d ́altres acaben sempre repetint els mateixos errors? ¿Per quin motiu hi ha persones que són brillants a l ́hora de prendre decisions i d ́altres que són uns absoluts ineptes? ¿Com funciona el nostre cervell a la feina, a classe, a la cuina i al dormitori? ¿Per què les millors decisions són sempre les més difícils d ́explicar?La intel·ligència intuïtiva ens ensenya que els grans experts a l ́hora de prendre decisions no són pas aquells que són capaços de processar més informació o que es passen més temps reflexionant, sinó els que han perfeccionat l ́art de «filar prim»: filtrar els pocs factors que tenen una importància cabdal d ́entre un número aclaparador de variables. La intel·ligència intuïtiva coneixerem un psicòleg que ha après a predir quan de temps pot durar un matrimoni només d ́observar una parella durant uns minuts, un entrenador que creu saber quan cometrà un tenista una doble falta, fins i tot abans que la raqueta entri en contacte amb la bola i també experts en antiguitats que poden reconèixer una falsificació d ́un sol cop d ́ull.MALCOLM GLADWELL és periodista de The New Yorker. Anteriorment també ha treballat com a periodista científic al Washington Post. Des de la seva aparició als Estats Units el passat mes de setembre, La intel·ligència intuïtiva s ́ha convertit en el nou llibre de capçalera de milions de persones que se senten sobrepassades per la gran quantitat d ́informació que reben cada dia i que els impedeix prendre decisions amb claredat.

Le point de bascule : comment faire une grande différence avec de très petites choses

release date: Jan 01, 2003
Le point de bascule : comment faire une grande différence avec de très petites choses
New York, capitale du crime, est soudainement devenue une ville sécuritaire au milieu des années 90. Pourquoi ? Les Hush Puppies, résolument out en 1993, ont reconquis le marché mondial en quelques années à peine. Pourquoi ? Sesame Street, malgré sa mission éducative, a complètement séduit des millions d''enfants dès sa première saison. Pourquoi ? Faisant la genèse de ces succès retentissants, l''auteur, journaliste au New Yorker montre que des changements mineurs, minutieusement planifiés et mis en œuvre, peuvent provoquer de véritables épidémies sociales. Décrivant les oiseaux rares, ces individus exceptionnels qui propagent la tendance, et s''attardant au pouvoir insoupçonné d''infimes éléments de contexte, il explique comment se produit la contagion. Rien ne résiste à son analyse : modes vestimentaires, tabagisme, publipostage, idéologie religieuse, société de haute technologie... pas même la Révolution américaine ! Lecture palpitante, Le point de bascule fournit des points d''ancrage précis à quiconque veut initier un mouvement qui fera boule de neige. Et prouve qu''avec un peu d''imagination et un bon levier on peut faire bouger le monde." Pas de doute, les gens qui liront le livre de Gladwell seront davantage en mesure de décoder leur environnement social. Le point de bascule, plus qu''une lecture passionnante, est une lecture nécessaire. L''ouvrage nous amène à mieux comprendre le monde, tout simplement ", Diane Bérard, rédactrice en chef, Revue Commerce. " Le point de bascule figure parmi mes meilleures lectures des dernières années. C''est un ouvrage fascinant, recherché, écrit de façon brillante, qui vient une fois de plus confirmer les immenses vertus du réseautage. Voilà qui me fait bien plaisir ", Lise Cardinal, auteur de Comment bâtir un réseau de contacts solide et de Réseautage d''affaires : mode d''emploi. " Avec passion et éloquence, Malcolm Gladwell défend l''hypothèse voulant que des changements mineurs, judicieusement conçus et mis en œuvre, puissent avoir des conséquences majeures dans la vie des gens, des entreprises, des communautés ", Barry Glassner, Los Angeles Times Book Review. "Le point de bascule synthétise les concepts propres à divers champs d''études - épidémiologie, psychologie, sociologie et dynamique des groupes - et les applique à une vaste gamme de comportements sociaux et de tendances culturelles. Utilisée à bon escient, une telle connaissance recèle un énorme potentiel ", Paula Geyh, Chicago Tribune. " L''un des aspects les plus intéressants du livre de Gladwell est la façon dont il confirme que nous sommes des êtres profondément sociaux et mutuellement influençables, et ce, en dépit de toute la place qu''occupe la technologie dans nos vies ", Deirdre Donahue, USA Today.

Tipping point
Tipping Point adalah saat ajaib ketika suatu ide, perilaku, pesan, dan produk menyebar seperti wabah penyakit menular. Sama seperti satu orang sakit dapat menyebabkan epidemi flu, begitu pula sentilan yang disasar dengan tepat dapat menyebabkan terjadinya tren fesyen, popularitas sebuah produk baru, atau menurunnya tingkat kriminalitas secara drastis. Di buku bestseller ini, Malcolm Gladwell menyelidiki dan secara brilian menjelaskan fenomena Tipping Point yang telah mengubah cara pikir orang di seluruh dunia tentang memasarkan suatu produk dan menyebarkan ide. Gladwell memperkenalkan kita pada tipe-tipe kepribadian orang yang secara alami bisa bertindak sebagai penyebar ide dan tren baru, orang-orang yang menciptakan fenomena word of mouth atau getok tular. Dia menganalisis tren-tren di dunia mode, acara televisi untuk anak-anak, direct mail, dan hari-hari pertama Revolusi Amerika untuk menemukan petunjuk-petunjuk tentang cara membuat suatu ide menjadi sangat menular. Dia juga mengunjungi suatu komunitas religius, sebuah perusahaan teknologi tinggi yang sukses, dan salah seorang penjual terbesar di dunia untuk menunjukkan cara memulai serta mempertahankan epidemi sosial. The Tipping Point merupakan kisah petualangan intelektual yang ditulis dengan semangat yang mudah menular dalam menggali kekuatan dan kebahagiaan dari berbagai ide baru. Yang paling penting, buku ini juga adalah sebuah peta penunjuk jalan menuju perubahan, dengan pesan penuh harapan—bahwa orang yang imajinatif, asal kan memasang tuasnya di tempat yang benar, tidak mustahil mampu menggeser bumi dari kedudukannya—mengubah dunia.

Urmează cele mai bune zile ale omenirii?

Urmează cele mai bune zile ale omenirii?
Progresul omenirii – o realitate bazată pe fapte concrete sau o iluzie care hrănește dintotdeauna cele mai aprinse utopii? Iată un subiect controversat, pe care patru gânditori străluciți ai prezentului l-au pus în perspectivă în cadrul Dezbaterilor Munk din noiembrie 2015. Seria întâlnirilor bianuale din Toronto, cu un renume internațional încă de la lansarea lor din 2008, a devenit astfel un context propice unui duel de idei alert și antrenant. STEVEN PINKER și MATT RIDLEY, experți recunoscuți în mai multe domenii ale cunoașterii și autori de bestselleruri, pledează în favoarea unui viitor luminos al speciei noastre, bazându-se pe date statistice. Cu o viziune sceptică, erudiții ALAIN DE BOTTON și MALCOLM GLADWELL aduc argumente de sens contrar, ancorându-și demonstrația pe terenul conceptelor filozofice și al realităților istorice. Confruntarea dintre cele două echipe este o veritabilă mostră de debate de cea mai înaltă ținută. Pasionantă, stimulativă, amuzantă prin jovialitatea și sarcasmul atent dozat al adversarilor, dezbaterea va face deliciul oricărui cititor căruia îi place să își dea de gândit. Este un fapt incontestabil că am devenit mai buni ca ființe umane decât pe vremea când aruncam fecioare în vulcani ori când tăiam mâinile celor care furau o varză. Steven Pinker Oamenii sunt mai bogați, mai în siguranță, mai educați, mai pașnici – dar izbânzile din trecut nu garantează câștiguri viitoare. Nu toată omenirea își duce traiul pe Wall Street. Malcolm Gladwell
