The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference | Malcolm Gladwell

pick

#OffMyShelf “Owned > 5 years”
My first completed book for #Shelfsweeper readathon . 😃

I listened to this on audio, read by the author. It was like a very long podcast…entertaining but I don‘t know that much will stick. But I don‘t think it‘s Gladwell‘s intention to write a how-to about how to create social movements or ad campaigns. He‘s more interested in exploring the fascinating and contradictory nature of human behavior and thought.

Ruthiella @Liz_M Maybe? Would you recommend it? I have “What the Dog Saw” still on my shelf and I previously read (listened to) “Blink”. 2d

Liz_M @Ruthiella I read Ttp back in the day, haven't read the sequel. I was hoping you would and report back 😆 2d

Ruthiella @Liz_M 😂 I will put it on my TBR! Just for you. 2d

wanderinglynn 🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 2d

RamsFan1963 @Ruthiella @Liz_M I've read the sequel, and it's very entertaining. I don't think it had as big an impact on me as the first book, but Gladwell is always an author worth reading. 2d

Ruthiella @RamsFan1963 Great! Thanks for the tip! 2d

2/5
What a disappointment... I had so much difficulty going through this book. Interesting ideas but their presentation is boring and very repetitive. It is also lacking in depth.

thecheckoutstack Thanks so much for listening @BookmarkTavern! 5mo

Chelsea.Poole Just finished the episode. Really enjoyed hearing @monalyisha and all the recs. This may just be my favorite new podcast!?! (I don‘t listen to podcasts but maybe I do now!) 5mo

monalyisha Aww, thanks @Chelsea.Poole & @BookmarkTavern! I don‘t typically listen to podcasts either but you know I think this topic is worth it…and I love Maria‘s passion! I *do* listen to Katherine May‘s podcast occasionally (because of course I do). And I managed to get into “60 Songs That Explain the 90‘s” for a while (the episode about Mazzy Star was my personal fave). 5mo

No Logo 10th Anniversary Edition | Naomi Klein

pick

As a big admirer, it took me too many years to get around to reading this. No Logo is an account of how corporations began selling brands instead of products, ideas, lifestyles and symbols instead of commodities. With that came the focus group and brands marketed to specific demographics like urban youth who integrated Nike swag into gang culture. Into the 90s, public outcries against sweatshops and environmental degradation awoke a resistance.
