具体描述
Over the past decade, Malcolm Gladwell has become the most gifted and influential journalist in America. In The New Yorker, his writings are such must-reads that the magazine charges advertisers significantly more money for ads that run within his articles. With his #1 bestsellers, The Tipping Point , Blink and Outliers , he has reached millions of readers. And now the very best and most famous of his New Yorker pieces are collected in a brilliant and provocative anthology. Among the pieces: his investigation into why there are so many different kinds of mustard but only one kind of ketchup; a surprising assessment of what makes for a safer automobile; a look at how we hire when we can't tell who's right for the job; an examination of machine built to predict hit movies; the reasons why homelessness might be easier to solve than manage; his famous profile of inventor and entrepreneur Ron Popeil; a look at why employers love personality tests; a dissection of Ivy League admissions and who gets in; the saga of the quest to invent the perfect cookie; and a look at hair dye and the hidden history of postwar America.
For the millions of Malcolm Gladwell fans, this anthology is like a greatest hits compilation-a mix tape from America's alpha mind

格拉德威尔的才华和文笔是无可否认的，但不知道这次中信出版社是否急功近利为了搭异类的畅销快车，连校对翻译都没有就匆忙出版了。 我非常失望，不是对格拉德威尔，而是这本书的翻译，简直是无语了，我觉得找国内字幕组的人员来翻译都要来得精确幽默。
由于之前首次接触到纳西姆•塔勒布的书，于是我百度了一下塔勒布其人，一篇题为《暴富：纳西姆•塔勒布是怎样将不可避免的灾难转化为一种投资战略》的文章吸引了我。这篇文章写在《黑天鹅》一书出版的几年前，以1996年的某一天塔勒布拜访维克多•尼德霍夫开头。尼德霍夫...
