Since I started this blog in 2009, I have summarized over 200 books that offer great advice to the parents and educators who represent my audience. My goal is to promote sales of these fine books and help people who have read the books review the key concepts. Today I offer links to the four books by Malcolm Gladwell that I summarized. If you haven’t read them yet you are in for a treat. If you have, it’s time to review the main points. Have fun.
David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants – Learn why David wasn’t really an underdog and lots of other cool stuff.
Outliers: The Story of Success – This looks at many notable situations where people or populations stand out from the crowd. He finds that circumstances and effort are more important than talent. There are many lessons here for educators and parents.
Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinkin – Learn why marriages break up and many other valuable insights. This summary and the next one date back to when I was using PowerPoint.
The Tipping Point: How Little Things Make a Big Difference – This book will help you understand the emergence of trends and mysterious changes that mark everyday life.
