Customer Review:
Malcolm Gladwell writes well. But there is not much substance. Sometimes, there is a point in time something changes dramatically. Sometimes, it doesn't come. These first ones are by definition a Tipping Point. Is there anything really interesting here? Not really. How can a tautology be worth a... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Back Bay Books

Customer Review:
There are some relevant points in this book.

from Simon & Schuster Audio
Price: $17.75
Customer Review:
I purchased this book since it has such high reviews on Amazon. Unfortunately, all the book provides are obsessive techniques on how to organize your tasks. Still, you would come up with them yourself anyway as they are all basic common sense.

from Random House
Price: $16.20
Customer Review:
Most of the criticisms of Taleb and this book seem sensible:
- His confidence sometimes seems to reach the level of condescending arrogance.

My husband and son work for the same company and had done the earlier version through work. I thought it would be good to evaluate my strengths.
