Praise for Outliers

"In the vast world of nonfiction writing, Malcolm Gladwell is as close to a singular talent as exists today...Outliers is a pleasure to read and leaves you mulling over its inventive theories for days afterward."--David Leonhardt, New York Times Book Review

"[An] important new book...Gladwell intelligently captures a larger tendency of thought-the growing appreciation of the power of cultural patterns, social contagions, memes...Gladwell's social determinism is a useful corrective to the Homo economicus view of human nature."--David Brooks, New York Times

"Thought-provoking, entertaining, and irresistibly debatable...[Outliers] is another winner from this agile social observer."--Heller McAlpin, Christian Science Monitor

"Outliers is required reading for boardroom and watercooler crowds alike."--Men's Health

Praise for The Tipping Point

"A fascinating book that makes you see the world in a different way."--Fortune

"The explosively entertaining Outliers might be Gladwell's best and most useful work yet...There are both brilliant yarns and life lessons here: Outliers is riveting science, self-help, and entertainment, all in one book."--Gregory Kirschling, Entertainment Weekly

"No other book I read this year combines such a distinctive prose style with truly thought-provoking content. Gladwell writes with a high degree of dazzle but at the same time remains as clear and direct as even Strunk or White could hope for."--Atlanta Journal Constitution

"In Outliers, Gladwell (The Tipping Point) once again proves masterful in a genre he essentially pioneered-the book that illuminates secret patterns behind everyday phenomena."--Publishers Weekly

"Gladwell's theories could be used to run businesses more effectively, to turn products into runaway bestsellers, and perhaps most important, to alter human behavior."--New York Times

Praise for Blink

"A real pleasure...Brims with surprising insights about our world and ourselves."--Salon.com
