Soft pick. I thought I would have enjoyed this more than I did.

Insightful perspective of how big ideas get their teeth and take hold in society.

"The rhetoric of protest unsupported by the means of enforcement amounted to little more than bombast."

This is definitely interesting, but I felt a certain amount of skepticism about it as “science.“ I have a Psychology degree and not only have I seen a fair amount of what I learned in college debunked, but I also had to participate in an experiment which I found completely bogus. Nonetheless, if you accept their theories it does make sense out of a lot of otherwise inexplicable behavior. I would love to see a new update on Trump, *again*. 😫

#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.

Tove_Reads Woohoo! 2mo

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”. 2mo
Liz_M @Ruthiella I read Ttp back in the day, haven't read the sequel. I was hoping you would and report back 😆 2mo
Ruthiella @Liz_M 😂 I will put it on my TBR! Just for you. 2mo
wanderinglynn 🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 2mo
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. 2mo
Ruthiella @RamsFan1963 Great! Thanks for the tip! 2mo
uncommonlycozies I'm currently reading Talking to Strangers by Malcom & it contains courtroom reenactments, news broadcasts, historical audio.. ect.
I totally agree that he's fueled by his interests rather than trying to give a guide. I'm studying the complexities of human behavior & The Tipping Point is up next. Thank you!

Ruthiella @uncommonlycozies I listened to his podcast about The Bomber Mafia which he later turned into a book and it was similarly layered with different sound bites, which definitely makes for rich listening experience. 1mo

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.

A lot of this seems overly simplistic, even reductionist. However, there are some truly great insights into what makes someone join a mass movement. It helps make sense of why people fall/fell for MAGA BS and similar. Highly recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ The role of stories in everyday life and how they can negatively affects us. Psychological warfare, propaganda, misinformation. We tend to treat fiction as politics. So many slippery slopes. Nothing much positive here, but a quick, interesting read.
