具体描述

The Tipping Point is that magical moment when an idea, trend, or social behaviour crosses a threshhold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a sick individual in a crowded store can start can epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend or the popularity of a new restaurant to take off overnightor crime or drug use to taper off. Gladwell has explored this theory to great acclaim in several articles in The New Yorker. Here, he shows how very minor adjustments in products and ideas can make them more likely to become hugely popular. He reveals how east it is to cause group behaviour to tip in a desirable direction by making small changes in our immediate environment. The Tipping Point contains a profoundly hopeful idea that people will embrace for its sense and simplicity: one imaginative person, applying a well-placed lever, can move the world. Examples are recognizable: in the New York subways, removing graffiti caused a dramatic reduction in crime; a specific hip group of teenagers wore Hush Puppies and suddenly sparked a national craze. This is a book that should be read by everyone in business, politics, marketing, advertising, and anyone interested in trends, fashion, fads, policy making, and human behaviour. In other words, all of us.

读后感

春节期间，花了点时间读了这本书。中信出版社出版的，可能是翻译上的问题吧，觉得有些地方不是很通顺，但是不影响对主题的理解。 老外就是有科学的研究精神，很常见的流行事件，能用科学的思维方式去加以概括，并指引人去解释生活中的流行事件，进而去引发、创造流行事件。 ...  

一种流行病的爆发需要三个条件，人们传播传染物的行为、传染物本身和传染物发挥作用需要的环境。一个流行潮的爆发，也起因于类似的三个条件，作者称之为个别人物法则、附着力因素、环境威力法则，其中任何一个条件的变化都可能引爆一场流行。 个别人物法则指出，一些特殊的人，...  

本以为像我这种很少读畅销书更少接触原著的人，碰上明显翻译错误的机会很少，但这个小概率事件还是让我碰上了。 《引爆点》第118页，作者引用了一个智力游戏做案例，下面是原文： “想一想下面这个智力游戏。假设有四张牌，上面写有A、D、3和6，游戏的规则是，如果牌的...  

翻译的太不怎么样了！简直惨不忍睹！ 　　　　钱清还是北大教翻译的，真实难以置信。是让学生翻的吧？ 　　　　比如第一页第六句，People were going to the Ma and Pa stores, the little stores that still carried them, and buying them up. 　　　　Ma and Pa ...  

《引爆流行》中的“个别人物法则”、“附着力因素法则”、“环境威力法则”很好地解释了流行潮发生的原因。 我尝试着用这三个法则分析了一下“超女”的流行： 个别人物法则：通过组织“超女”们的fans，使“超女”成为联系员。 附着力因素法则（事物传递的信息）：用PK、女...
