Fiction Addiction’s business book club met last night to discuss the modern business classic The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. The club unanimously liked the book and found it’s theories on social epidemics fascinating.
The one downside to the book from our point of view is that it is mainly a theory book, with some fascinating examples, but not very much practical advice as to how to apply the lessons learned. However, many of the business books written since The Tipping Point was published, including our March pick Made to Stick, have made it their mission to take up where Gladwell left off and provide concrete steps for implementing his theories.
Our mext meeting will be on June 26th at 6:30 pm at Thai Top Restaurant. We will be discussing Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping by Paco Underhill. Receive a 15% discount off this title if purchased from us prior to the meeting.
