How do epidemics, fashions, bestsellers, word-of-mouth phenomena, or any of those small changes that shake our daily lives by causing great effects, arise? In this revolutionary work, which has been at the top of the U.S. sales charts for years, Gladwell, a true business guru, analyzes the trajectory of several highly successful products and trends to discover how and why the tipping point is reached, from which something becomes a mass phenomenon: the key point.
Gladwell introduces us to people responsible for spreading new ideas and trends and examines fashion, children's television programs, the behavior of smokers, and even direct advertising, in order to elucidate the process of idea contagion.
"The best way to understand the mysterious changes that mark our daily lives (be it the appearance of a fashion trend, the retreat of crime waves, the transformation of an unknown book into a bestseller, the increase in tobacco consumption among adolescents, or the phenomenon of word-of-mouth) is to treat them as pure epidemics. Ideas, products, messages, and behaviors spread among us just like viruses." -Malcolm Gladwell
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Discover Malcolm Gladwell's breakthrough debut and explore the science behind viral trends in business, marketing, and human behavior. The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed bestseller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas.
