<!--StartFragment-->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 20th 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...

More About Obsessives, Pioneers, and Other Varieties of Minor Genius: Part One from What the Dog Saw

Talebs hero, on the other hand, is Karl Popper, who said that you could not know with any certainty that a proposition was true; Malcolm Gladwell, Obsessives, Pioneers, and Other Varieties of Minor Genius //

I like all of Gladwell's books. Like the others, this one was insightful, interesting and intriguing. If you have never read this author/researcher, I would recommend OUTLIERS a bit more than this one. I truly love the way Malcolm Gladwell writes and describes the people that he interviews in his stories. He has such joy and inquisitiveness that it shines through and I can't help but feel excited and intrigued. There were about 4 or 5 different stories here and they all interested me. Ron Popeil and his family are amazing. I never... Excellent real life stories of pioneers, some succeed and others don't but it's the perseverance and belief that counts.
