Intuition is often presented as the opposite of structured achievement. There are people who intuit the answer to a problem, and there are those who work it out the long and hard way.

The Tipping Point is the biography of an idea, and the idea is quite simple: that many of the problems we face - from murder to teenage delinquency to traffic jams - behave like epidemics. They aren't linear phenomena in the sense that they steadily and predictably change according to the level of effort brought to bear against them. They are capable of sudden and dramatic changes in direction. Years of well-intentioned intervention may have no impact at all, yet the right intervention - at just the right time - can start a cascade of change.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Ohne Schutzumschlag; Verschmutzung; Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. This landmark book revolutionizes our understanding of leadership and decision-making from bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell. Following his breakthrough bestseller, Gladwell delves into how we think without thinking, exploring choices made in an instant that are more complex than they appear. The book addresses why some individuals excel at decision-making while others falter, examining the role of instincts in success and failure. It investigates how our brains function across various settings--office, classroom, kitchen, and bedroom--and why the best decisions often defy explanation. Within its pages, we encounter a psychologist who can predict marriage longevity after observing a couple for mere minutes, a tennis coach who anticipates a player's double-fault before contact, and antiquities experts who identify fakes at a glance. The narrative also highlights notable failures of instinctive decision-making, such as the election of Warren Harding, the introduction of "New Coke," and the tragic shooting of Amadou Diallo. Ultimately, the book reveals that exceptional decision-makers are not those who analyze the most information but those who master "thin-slicing"--distilling the essential factors from a sea of variables.…

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. Why do underdogs succeed so much more than they should? How do the weak outsmart the strong? In David and GoliathMalcolm Gladwell takes us on a scintillating and surprising journey to uncover the hidden dynamics that shape the balance of power between the small and the mighty. From the conflict in Northern Ireland and Vietnam, through the tactics of civil rights leaders and the problem of privilege, Gladwell demonstrates how terribly we misunderstand the true meaning of advantage and disadvantage. When is a traumatic childhood a good thing? How can a disability leave someone better off? And do you really want your child to go to the best school he or she can get into? Drawing on the stories of remarkable underdogs, history, science, psychology and his unparalleled ability to make the connections other miss, David and Goliathis a brilliant, illuminating book that overturns conventional thinking, and brings home the incredible leverage of the unexpected.…
