In The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell explores those phaenomena that seem to come from nowhere. Ideas, habits, musics, books, products, etc... that suddenly tip and spread widely, adopting an infection-like behaviour that is very difficult to spot and predict.

The book identifies 3 main points, or laws, that can describe such processes.

The first is "the law of the few". It takes just a few people to make something tip. However it is needed that 3 kinds of actors take part in it. The mavens, who are experts in a field and like to make recommendations to others. The Connectors, which know many people and can identify the most appropriate person whom to spread the idea to. And, finally, the Salesmen, who know how to package the message for the people to buy it.

The second important factor is that the message must stick. Stickiness is not just a property of the message, but also of the way it is being presented. In this chapter the book includes very interesting examples on Sesame Street show.

The third factor is the context. The context can enable an epidemic to tip or prevent it from succeeding. An example of this is what he calls "the rule of the 150", a group of 150 can establish relationships extensively, everyone with everyone, and this simplifies the organization and makes ideas and a culture form easier.

This is not an academic book. This is a easy-reading book which exposes just a few ideas beautifully. Many examples are presented to help illustrate each of them (some will think that there are too much of them) that help understand them better and grasp their subtleties. Malcolm made a good job at compiling documentation. However, the reader is impelled to believe these ideas without any demonstration or supporting evidence.

You may find that you already know the main idea of this book. In fact this idea itself tipped so fast that you could find the book outdated by the time you read it.
