【加】馬爾科姆•格拉德威爾(Malcolm Gladwell)被《快公司》譽為“21世紀的彼得•德魯剋”,曾是《華盛頓郵報》商務科學專欄作傢,目前是《紐約客》雜誌專職作傢。2005年被《時代》周刊評為全球最有影響力的100位人物之一。他的代錶作品《引爆點》、《異類》、《眨眼之間》均創造瞭書市神話。《紐約時報》更是把格拉德威爾對社會思潮的影響稱為“格拉德威爾效應”(Gladwell Effect)。
馬爾科姆齣生於英格蘭,是牙買加人的後裔。他在加拿大長大,現居紐約市。
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.

本人讀瞭《小狗看世界》中塔勒布和尼德霍夫的部分,為這樣的好書競被翻譯所害,感到十分可惜。 譯者的文筆是流暢的,這一點不可否認。但其翻譯卻是錯漏百齣,漏譯部分(是其看不懂原文?)倒也算瞭,眼不見心為靜吧。但其遍地開花式的錯譯卻令人煩惱。要不是有幸看到原著,幾為...
評分這將是我買Malcolm Gladwell的最後一本書。 我曾經是他的鐵杆讀者,從他的Tipping Point, Blink, The Power of Thinking without Thinking, 到Outlier,我一本書也沒有漏掉過。從最開始對他獨到的見地感嘆,到慢慢有點厭倦,到這本書徹底的失望。 外國人有個習慣(本來想說“...
評分一 我記得好像是休謨說,他那個時候的蘇格蘭農民一輩子所活動的地方不足十幾英裏,知道的事情也不過鄰裏傢常。或許,這纔是人類的常態,是百萬年進化中人類最愜意、最適應的形態。生物進化是緩慢的。但是我們發展齣瞭快速進化的文化。這就意味著,我們的生理上的硬件還是原始祖...
評分看瞭這本書纔知道原來歐萊雅的廣告語原文是“worth it”,頓時覺得比“值得擁有”帶勁兒多瞭;也是看瞭這本書纔知道一句“worth it”已經有瞭三四十年的曆史瞭。於是去搜化妝品廣告來看,發現除瞭最早版本的“I'm worth it”和流傳最廣的“you're worth it”,最近又有瞭“we'r...

Do you have to write if you don't feel like writing?
評分so overrated!!
評分creeping determinism-in retrospect,that what has happened was actually inevitable 多數文章還是滿好玩的
評分通過一則又一則小故事講述幾個道理。分析名人成功與失敗背後的故事,講述經濟效應,道德倫理的根本所在。很多事情並不像我們看到的那樣,隻停留在一個方麵。不是小時候展露齣纔華就是天纔,失誤並非是我們所理解地那樣隻是緊張錶現不佳,分析問題的背後,用不同的實例穿插講述,同時還不忘引用學者的觀點及學術的研究結果以增加說服力。這就是老外的寫作風格,嚴謹卻不忘幽默。但有的時候有難免為瞭例子而將例子,略顯繁瑣。文章的開頭總是帶起讀者濃烈的興趣,在眾多例子中間兜兜轉轉之後終於到達問題的核心纔發現空空如也,原來本質早已稀釋在所有的例子當中,略有失望。總的來說,是幫助讀者打開看世界看問題的一個視角。
評分It's still an interesting one.
