The Tipping Point

Editorial review

Malcolm Gladwell argues that social phenomena behave like epidemics: small changes in initial conditions can produce sudden, large-scale tipping points. He identifies the actors (Connectors, Mavens, Salesmen), the message (Stickiness), and the environment (Power of Context) that together explain when an idea spreads.
