The Tipping Point
From the bestselling author of The Bomber Mafia: 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. “A wonderful page-turner about a fascinating idea that should affect the way every thinking person looks at the world.” —Michael Lewis

Summary of The Tipping Point
Summary of The Tipping Point - How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference - A Comprehensive Summary PART 1: ‘TIPPING’ AN IDEA The first chapter of the book starts by explaining the author’s idea about how many companies function today. As we may or may not know, many companies are trying to sell as many of their products as possible. That is why they are trying to “tip” those products. Those companies want to spread “the word” about their products. And the want to spread it to as many people as possible, but this is not an easy task. The reason for that is that for something to “tip” there needs to be the right conditions for that to happen. If the conditions are not favorable, tipping will never occur. Here the author compares tipping a message to the spreading of a virus. It is actually more or less the same. A virus will never be able to spread out of a controlled environment unless there is an opportunity for it. From all this Gladwell comes up with three of his “laws.” These laws describe the conditions necessary for “tipping” to occur, and without them, “a virus will always stay inside.” These laws are: The Law of the Few The Stickiness Factor The Power of Context Without these three laws, information will never be able to spread out to the intended group of people.
