Malcolm Gladwell: Collected | Malcolm Gladwell

This is so worth your time. Things like l: Annual college ratings from US News and World report, 2. Had the U.S. begun integration of teachers and administrators at the same time or before students, 3. Endowments and amenities at top-tier universities, 4. Not advancing the potential of under-privileged students in early grade school, 5. Out bombastic election process to decide leaders, 6. Out tortoise vs hare standardized testing process. ↓

marleed The math major in me will always be a numbers girl so I read everything from my favorite number-crunching teacher, Malcolm Gladwell. When my Libby hold dropped, I realized from the Goodreads page count this was a collection of education essays from podcasts rather than an actual print book so Litsy doesn‘t carry the actual title. I‘m not in the habit of perusing podcasts so I‘m incredibly grateful for my Libby audiobook confusion. 2mo
Amiable I love Malcolm Gladwell. I think I‘ve heard several of the podcast episodes that you mentioned but not all of them. I‘m going to go find this one! 2mo

A fascinating reframe of the American mythos and the Western concept of success, genius, and “self-made” greatness.

My first Gladwell book. It was a great read, finished it rather quickly in comparison to my usual. Made me think about hurdles I've faced and providing a different view on my successes. Success has always been narrowed down to hard work and intelligence. But this book looks into how hard work & intelligence aren't the only things at play. There are multiple things at work simultaneously around a person that makes it to the top. Recommend!

marleed I‘ve read the Gladwell canon and love them. I feel like I should get college credit with each book because I learn so much from what he has to say. 5mo
BossLady305 I think so… I can‘t read the next one. 5mo

I‘ve been reading the scrolls for 4 months almost everyday now and it‘s crazy to see how quickly life can start changing when you take control.

5✨ If you have ever felt like you just can‘t win. Everything is going wrong and you have hit rock bottom, this book is for you. David is one of these people that just can‘t catch a break. His family is suffering and he is feeling worse and worse. Then he is given the gift to travel through “time/dimension” to learn 7 things that can make his life better. I feel like this book was speaking directly to me. It was amazing! #Roll100 October

How is it I haven‘t read this book - or even heard of it before today!?

I finally got around to this one. This book has permeated popular culture--for good reason--so I'd seen most of it already, which probably took away a lot of the impact. While I agreed with the main points, the book heavily relies on anecdotal evidence rather than systematic research. I also found the second half to lack focus and didn't get what value it was supposed to add. An interesting book, but not the right one for me.
