AS THE WORLD CHANGES, WISDOM REMAINS THE SAME - [10 Jun 2009]
My Husband Ran Off with the Nanny and God Do I Miss Her THE TIPPING POINT, in my humble opinion, is a brilliant read that will be useful without constraints of being of a certain time like, for example, a book that is all about the internet when it just...

Great Insights into the Psychology and Sociology of the Consumer - [03 May 2009]
The Tipping Point provides a wonderful insight into the causes of "viral" marketing and consumer trends. Be forewarned, however, that the book itself is not a merketing text, and really is more of a expose on psychology of trends. Gladwell is able to ...

Interesting, but falls apart in places - [13 Mar 2009]
The book was ok. I liked the description of the three roles: Maven, Salesman, and Connector. The section on context was a bit over done. We are not all victims of circumstance. The author ignores the power contained in all of us -- our ability to choose...
