	Stay Free! Daily: Malcolm Gladwell
		Gladwell devotes a chunk of his book to the work of the John Gottman, who videotapes couples and says that within 15 minutes he can tell with 90 percent accuracy whether the couple will be married 15 years later.
		Gladwell and his New Yorker colleague James Surowiecki debate this point in an enlightening Slate article.
		Gladwell's thesis would be more accurate in stating that split-second decision-making isn't worthless -- that it can at times be channeled effectively, and that knowing when to do so is key.

	The Accidental Guru
		When you see Malcolm Gladwell for the first time, standing barefoot at the entrance of his breezy Tribeca apartment, you are struck by how young he looks.
		Gladwell argues that it's a mistake to rely on the first impressions of customers who are inherently biased against the unfamiliar.
		Gladwell acknowledges this, but notes, "only by accepting the risk of failure will [a company] ever hit a home run." Relying on the good judgment of your staff, he believes, is the key ingredient for a new kind of decision-making environment, and judgment is what companies should be screening for when hiring.

	gladwell.com: Thoughts on Freakonomics
		Gladwell, have not examined or attributed a drop in crime in New York to the policies and initiatives that District Attorney's Offices (Bronx, New York) have adopted in order to reduce the crime rate and recidivism.
		Ironically for Gladwell, the fact that many middle and upper class women were on the Pill by the mid-70's shifts the demographics of who was getting abortions at that time, probably toward the lower end of the socio-economic spectrum.
		Gladwell's understandable question about why the Pill didn't have a similar putative effect as legalized abortion was that the Pill was more likely to be used by a completely different socio-economic group, and in a rather different context.

	ESPN.com: MLB - The interview: Malcolm Gladwell
		Gladwell is one of my favorite writers because he tends to see the world in a different way than most of us.
		Gladwell: The best example of how impossible it will be for Major League Baseball to crack down on steroids is the fact that baseball and the media are still talking about the problem as "steroids." In fact, my guess is that most players aren't using steroids at all.
		Gladwell: The basic idea is that all of us have two different ways of "knowing" how to perform a physical task.

	IT Conversations: Malcolm Gladwell - Human Nature
		Malcolm has the uncanny ability to interpret research findings and tantalizing theories in sociology and other fields and apply them to business and organizational problems to generate value.
		Gladwell includes caveats about leaping to conclusions: marketers can manipulate our first impressions, high arousal moments make us "mind blind," focusing on the wrong cue leaves us vulnerable to "the Warren Harding Effect" (i.e., voting for a handsome but hapless president).
		In a provocative chapter that exposes the "dark side of blink," he illuminates the failure of rapid cognition in the tragic stakeout and murder of Amadou Diallo in the Bronx.

	VDARE.com: 02/05/06 - Malcolm Gladwell Blinks Again
		Malcolm Gladwell, one of the highest-paid print journalists in America, has just been awarded the supreme MSM accolade: a 2600-word profile in today's New York Times entitled the The Gladwell Effect.
		In his response, Gladwell is baffled and offended that both Judge Richard A. Posner, the distinguished leader of the Law and Economics school of thought, and myself had scoffed at his theory that, as he puts it, the reason "car salesmen quote higher prices to otherwise identical fl shoppers is because of unconscious discrimination.
		And then Gladwell bravely went ahead and applied the same logic to the biology of race differences to try to explain why fls are faster Olympic runners and dominate in football and basketball.

		Let others probe the grand sweeps of human history—Malcolm Gladwell is resolved to study moments.
		Blink has three aims, says Gladwell: to demonstrate that "decisions made very quickly can be every bit as good as decisions made cautiously and deliberately"; to help decide when we should and shouldn't trust our instincts; and to show that "snap judgments and first impressions can be educated and controlled."
		Gladwell introduces a researcher who can predict the likelihood of a married couple divorcing by eavesdropping on a few seconds of their conversation and noting their facial expressions.

		Gladwell’s major claim is that decisions made very quickly can be every bit as good as a decision made cautiously and deliberately.
		Gladwell's point is that sound decision making is borne of a balance between instinctive, reactive realization and deliberate, studied conclusions.
		For me this last is Gladwell's most important point, one which he really could have developed in much greater depth: It is not only possible but highly desirable to become so knowledgeable about a given subject that one can almost immediately complete an accurate diagnosis and then take or recommend appropriate action.

		Gladwell's applications of his "tipping point" concept to current phenomena--such as the drop in violent crime in New York, the rebirth of Hush Puppies suede shoes as a suburban mall favorite, teenage suicide patterns and the efficiency of small work units--may arouse controversy.
		Gladwell's first example is the resurgence of the popularity of Hush Puppies, which had long been out of fashion, and were only sold in small shoe stores.
		Gladwell explains epidemics and their tipping points as being a product of 3 main factors, the power of the messenger, the strength of the message, and the context in which the message is communicated.

	Brand Autopsy: on Malcolm Gladwell
		Gladwell may be the Dale Carnegie, or perhaps the Norman Vincent Peale, of the iPod generation.
		Now, I never officially supported Gladwell’s assertion that higher prescription drug prices may be a result of how we, as a society, have become more aggressive in the treatment of diseases and we are spending more on drugs because we are using more drugs.
		Gladwell continues … “The core problem in bringing drug spending under control, in other words, is persuading the users and buyers and prescribers of drugs to behave rationally, and the reason we're in the mess we're in is that, so far, we simply haven't done a very good job of that.

	Malcolm Gladwell Quotes - The Quotations Page
		If we are to learn to improve the quality of the decisions we make, we need to accept the mysterious nature of our snap judgments.
		It is quite possible for people who have never met us and who have spent only twenty minutes thinking about us to come to a better understanding of who we are than people who have known us for years.
		There can be as much value in the blink of an eye as in months of rational analysis.

	Amazon.com: Blink : The Power of Thinking Without Thinking: Books: Malcolm Gladwell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Gladwell's conclusion, after studying how people make instant decisions in a wide range of fields from psychology to police work, is that we can make better instant judgments by training our mind and senses to focus on the most relevant facts—and that less input (as long as it's the right input) is better than more.
		Still, each case study is satisfying, and Gladwell imparts his own evident pleasure in delving into a wide range of fields and seeking an underlying truth.
		Gladwell's second entry into the aren't-our-brains-amazing genre (The Tipping Point, 2000)and his great strength continues to lie in his storytelling which is what makes this book fun and interesting.
