【加】马尔科姆•格拉德威尔(Malcolm Gladwell)被《快公司》誉为“21世纪的彼得•德鲁克”,曾是《华盛顿邮报》商务科学专栏作家,目前是《纽约客》杂志专职作家。2005年被《时代》周刊评为全球最有影响力的100位人物之一。他的代表作品《引爆点》、《异类》、《眨眼之间》均创造了书市神话。《纽约时报》更是把格拉德威尔对社会思潮的影响称为“格拉德威尔效应”(Gladwell Effect)。
马尔科姆出生于英格兰,是牙买加人的后裔。他在加拿大长大,现居纽约市。
What is the difference between choking and panicking? Why are there dozens of varieties of mustard-but only one variety of ketchup? What do football players teach us about how to hire teachers? What does hair dye tell us about the history of the 20 th century?
In the past decade, Malcolm Gladwell has written three books that have radically changed how we understand our world and ourselves: The Tipping Point ; Blink ; and Outliers. Now, in What the Dog Saw , he brings together, for the first time, the best of his writing from The New Yorker over the same period.
Here is the bittersweet tale of the inventor of the birth control pill, and the dazzling inventions of the pasta sauce pioneer Howard Moscowitz. Gladwell sits with Ron Popeil, the king of the American kitchen, as he sells rotisserie ovens, and divines the secrets of Cesar Millan, the "dog whisperer" who can calm savage animals with the touch of his hand. He explores intelligence tests and ethnic profiling and "hindsight bias" and why it was that everyone in Silicon Valley once tripped over themselves to hire the same college graduate.
"Good writing," Gladwell says in his preface, "does not succeed or fail on the strength of its ability to persuade. It succeeds or fails on the strength of its ability to engage you, to make you think, to give you a glimpse into someone else's head." What the Dog Saw is yet another example of the buoyant spirit and unflagging curiosity that have made Malcolm Gladwell our most brilliant investigator of the hidden extraordinary.
What the dog saw,我译做《狗之所见》,乃是Malcolm Gladwell为《纽约客》撰写的专栏文章之合集,计有十九篇。Gladwell是《纽约客》的签约作家,之前出过三本书,即Ourliers、Blink和《引爆点》(The Tipping Point),都有大名,尤其是最后一本。不过我久已不看英文书,就这...
评分四年后,也即是2007年,Gladwell就安然事件撰写的第二篇文章“The open secrect”(《公开的秘密》)发表。在转述此篇旧文之前,且耍个花枪,来看看新闻——美国SEC诉高盛案(SEC在一项民事诉讼中,起诉高盛公司误导、欺骗投资者)。 此间曲折,还数维基百科“高盛”词条说得...
评分英国新书介绍 #21 (2009年11月2日) What the Dog Saw 本书作者Malcolm Gladwell 近几年已经出版了好几本畅销书 The Tipping Point、Blink、Outliers 等,他还为美国《纽约客》杂志写作,这本新书 What the Dog Saw 是他在《纽约客》上文章的自选集。 因为是杂志文章合集,各...
评分1953年12月,在休•赫夫纳创办的《花花公子》创刊号上有这样一段宣言:“国家事务不在我们关心的范围之内。我们不希望去解决什么世界性的问题,或去证明什么伟大的道德真理。要是能向美国的男性提供一些额外的欢笑、分散一下对原子时代的焦虑的注意力,我们觉得我们就证明了...
评分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。
Malcolm Gladwell几本书的写作模式都是一个套路
评分我不怎么喜欢
评分读过《Tipping point》 和《Outlier》这两本书的话,就不必再读这本了。马叔毕竟是从广告行业发迹,写作风格和主题可以概括为 “意料之外,情理之中”,总是很能吸引人眼球就是了。 整部书里我个人认为值得一读的只有两章:The Talent myth: are smart people overrated? 可以对麦肯锡选拔评价人才的标准做少许了解。 The New boy network: what do job interview really tell us? 在海外读书的同学们可以了解一下老外面试的套路,即structured interview 的标准问题和一些标准答案。虽然我觉得发明这些问题的人真的是很反人性了。
