Malcolm Gladwell, The New Yorker‘s bestselling pop-sociologist, is a phenomenon. Using anecdotal evidence to jump to sweeping generalizations he is able to produce a continuous row of bestsellers.
- The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference (2000): Gladwell received a US$1.5 million advance for The Tipping Point, which sold 1.7 million copies by 2006.
- Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking (2005): Popular science on the adaptive unconscious; mental processes that work rapidly and automatically from relatively little information.
- Outliers: The Story of Success (2008): Could be described as a form of autobiography, as Gladwell mixes in elements from his own life.
- What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures (2009): A compilation of 19 articles by Malcolm Gladwell that were originally published in The New Yorker
Cory Bortnicker and Brett MolĂ© had enough of waiting any longer for the next title to come out and produced a Malcolm Gladwell Book Generator adding more and more shallow best sellers to the list. One by one, click by click, give it a try. It’s hilarious!
