"The best way to understand the dramatic transformation of unknown books into bestsellers, or the rise of teenage smoking, or the phenomena of word of mouth or any number of the other mysterious changes that mark everyday life," writes Malcolm Gladwell, "is to think of them as epidemics. Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread just like viruses do." Although anyone familiar with the theory of memetics will recognize this concept, Gladwell's The Tipping Point has quite a few interesting twists on the subject.

For example, Paul Revere was able to galvanize the forces of resistance so effectively in part because he was what Gladwell calls a "Connector": he knew just about everybody, particularly the revolutionary leaders in each of the towns that he rode through. But Revere "wasn't just the man with the biggest Rolodex in colonial Boston," he was also a "Maven" who gathered extensive information about the British. He knew what was going on and he knew exactly whom to tell. The phenomenon continues to this day--think of how often you've received information in an e-mail message that had been forwarded at least half a dozen times before reaching you.

Gladwell develops these and other concepts (such as the "stickiness" of ideas or the effect of population size on information dispersal) through simple, clear explanations and entertainingly illustrative anecdotes, such as comparing the pedagogical methods of Sesame Street and Blue's Clues, or explaining why it would be even easier to play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon with the actor Rod Steiger. Although some readers may find the transitional passages between chapters hold their hands a little too tightly, and Gladwell's closing invocation of the possibilities of social engineering sketchy, even chilling, The Tipping Point is one of the most effective books on science for a general audience in ages. It seems inevitable that "tipping point," like "future shock" or "chaos theory," will soon become one of those ideas that everybody knows--or at least knows by name.

From Publishers Weekly

The premise of this facile piece of pop sociology has built-in appeal: little changes can have big effects; when small numbers of people start behaving differently, that behavior can ripple outward until a critical mass or "tipping point" is reached, changing the world. Gladwell's thesis that ideas, products, messages and behaviors "spread just like viruses do" remains a metaphor as he follows the growth of "word-of-mouth epidemics" triggered with the help of three pivotal types. These are Connectors, sociable personalities who bring people together; Mavens, who like to pass along knowledge; and Salesmen, adept at persuading the unenlightened. (Paul Revere, for example, was a Maven and a Connector). Gladwell's applications of his "tipping point" concept to current phenomena--such as the drop in violent crime in New York, the rebirth of Hush Puppies suede shoes as a suburban mall favorite, teenage suicide patterns and the efficiency of small work units--may arouse controversy. For example, many parents may be alarmed at his advice on drugs: since teenagers' experimentation with drugs, including cocaine, seldom leads to hardcore use, he contends, "We have to stop fighting this kind of experimentation. We have to accept it and even embrace it." While it offers a smorgasbord of intriguing snippets summarizing research on topics such as conversational patterns, infants' crib talk, judging other people's character, cheating habits in schoolchildren, memory sharing among families or couples, and the dehumanizing effects of prisons, this volume betrays its roots as a series of articles for the New Yorker, where Gladwell is a staff writer: his trendy material feels bloated and insubstantial in book form.

From Library Journal

This genial book by New Yorker contributor Gladwell considers the elements needed to make a particular idea take hold. The "tipping point" (not a new phrase) occurs when something that began small (e.g., a few funky kids in New York's East Village wearing Hush Puppies) turns into something very large indeed (millions of Hush Puppies are sold). It depends on three rules: the Law of the Few, the Stickiness Factor, and the Power of Context. Episodes subjected to this paradigm here include Paul Revere's ride, the creation of the children's TV program Sesame Street, and the influence of subway shooter Bernie Goetz. The book has something of a pieced-together feel (reflecting, perhaps, the author's experience writing shorter pieces) and is definitely not the stuff of deep sociological thought. It is, however, an entertaining read that promises to be well publicized. Recommended for public libraries.

From Booklist

Gladwell, a New Yorker staff writer, offers an incisive and piquant theory of social dynamics that is bound to provoke a paradigm shift in our understanding of mass behavioral change. Defining such dramatic turnarounds as the abrupt drop in crime on New York's subways, or the unexpected popularity of a novel, as epidemics, Gladwell searches for catalysts that precipitate the "tipping point," or critical mass, that generates those events. What he finds, after analyzing a number of fascinating psychological studies, is that tipping points are attributable to minor alterations in the environment, such as the eradication of graffiti, and the actions of a surprisingly small number of people, who fit the profiles of personality types that he terms connectors, mavens, and salesmen. As he applies his strikingly counterintuitive hypotheses to everything from the "stickiness," or popularity, of certain children's television shows to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, Gladwell reveals that our cherished belief in the autonomy of the self is based in great part on wishful thinking.

From AudioFile

Why is it that fashion trends change the way we dress? Why do various TV shows, movies, and books become so popular? Malcolm Gladwell provides a diagram of our society, along with an analysis of the strategies people apply to influence and mold its direction. Gladwell describes the personality types that create trends and those that influence others by "spreading the word." History takes on a whole new perspective as he describes events of early America that specifically follow his theories of "selling the public on an idea" and "social epidemics." Feedback from market mavericks further substantiates Gladwell's viewpoints. B.J.P.

CHA1 流行三法则：当流行被引爆，是因为一些事情的发生让其中1个2个甚至三个条件发生了改变：

个别人物法则（Law of the Few）、附着力法则（Stickiness Factor）和环境威力法则（Power of Context）

1、个别人物法则（Law of the Few）：联系员、内行、推销员

E.G. 在暇步士案例中，最让人困惑不解的就是，那些鞋是如何从几个引领时尚的曼哈顿嬉皮士穿在脚上发展到全国各家购物商场皆有销售。东村与整个美国中产阶级之间有什么关系？

在这些特别人物中有人意识到了时尚趋向，通过自己的社交、自己的活力、热情和个人魅力把“暇步士”传染给大家。

* 六步分离法则：以往对此的案例的理解是，世界上每一个人与其他人之间仅仅六步之遥。实际上，这个案例的实际意义是，某些个人别与其他所有的人相隔仅几步之遥，我们就是通过那几个个别人物与世界联系起来的。

* “我遇见了最棒的人”：如果你回顾洛伊丝的这段历史，并计算一下，就会发现她涉足过8个领域，即演艺、写作、医务、法律、公园保护、政治、铁路保护及跳蚤市场。当我请她本人列出一份清单时，她写了10个领域，因为她增加了自己目前涉足的建筑和礼仪。但是，她很可能是有意表示谦虚，因为如果你再仔细研究一下她的生平，就可能把她的经历划分成15个或者20个领域，但是这些领域并不是互不相干的。联系员的特点就是：涉足许多不同领域，结果就把所有这些领域联系到一起了。（一慕：gosh，这样的跨界人群太赞了！在50年代的芝加哥，还需要靠纯粹的这些特定的“个体”才能组建salon来跨界交流，如今我们有了social network，还能做什么？这不就是facebook，weibo，zhihu，douban，bbs的引爆点运用？）

* 微弱关系的威力：56%的人求职是通过关系介绍，而其中83%以上的人使用的这种人...

任何观念要对人产生震撼作用，关键之处都在于其内在质量。在所举的这些实例中，没有一个在叙述的内容上做出较大的改观。相反，他们使信息得到广泛接受的方法只不过是在意思表达上做出了一点边缘修改，如把木偶放在HUG后面、把大鸟和成年人放在一起、不止一次地重复故事情节和幽默故事、让史蒂夫发问后多停留一秒种、把一个小小的金盒子放在广告的左下角。这一切都说明，排斥和接受之间、能够风行起来和不能风行起来之间的分野有时候比表面上看到的更窄。《芝麻街》的首创人员在费城惨遭失败后，并没有把整个节目推翻。他们只是把大鸟增补了进去，大鸟的参与改变了一切。霍华德·莱文瑟为了让大学生接受注射，并没有付出成倍的努力，只是增加了一张地图和日常注射时间。个别人物法则认为，社会中存在的个别能发起流行浪潮的特殊人物，我们的任务就是要找到这些特殊人物。附着力法则给我们的教训是相同的，也就是说，在适当的情况下，总是存在一种简单的信息包装方法，使信息变得令人难以抗拒。我们的任务就是要找到这种包装方法。

仅仅通过控制一个小组的规模，就有可能在很大程度上改善人们对新观念的接受能力；通过信息传播方式的微小调整；就有可能大幅度地降低其传播难度；仅仅找到和接触那些有着极强社交能力的人，就有可能掀起一股社会流行潮。引爆点最终再次证实了我们存在改变一切的能力和采取明智行动的力量。看看周围的世界吧，它看上去似乎雷打不动、无法改变；但只要你找准位置，轻轻一触，它就可能倾斜。

加入网络的个体越多，网络价值越高。

一个网络的价值与其节点数量成平方比。

当角色模型所占比率下降2.2个百分点，即从5.6%下降到3.4%，黑人学龄儿童的辍学率就会增加一倍多。在这个引爆点上，未成年少女的早孕率就会成倍增加——在未达到引爆点时，早孕率几乎保持不变。

  1.流行三要素：传播行为、传播物本身、传播物发挥作用的环境。

  2.个别人物法则(Law of the Few)：三种关键角色联系员、内行、销售员。联系员维系着大规模的弱联系，是小世界中的社交经纪，他们不会回避对于社交关系的义务，在维持简单、随意、广泛的社交中获得快乐；内行会主动摄取信息，并想方设法散布出去，是信息的经纪；销售员是完成“最后一公里”的人，需要极强的说服能力。

  如果能够选择一个社会化网络，比如twitter，FB，定量判别和统计一下三种角色的用户，会是很有意思的实验。

  2.1一个小世界中，“微弱关系”通常比牢固关系发挥的作用更大，相识人数多少，基本代表了一个人的社交能力。《庄子.山木》：“且君子之交淡若水，小人之交甘若醴；君子淡以亲，小人甘以绝。” 也是这个意思吧，呵呵。

  2.2非文字暗示往往比文字/语言暗示更重要；说服工作往往是通过大家不喜欢的方式发挥作用的；情绪其实是由外向内的，学习和训练基本的生理能力，能够建立起超感染力。

  3.附着力因素法则(Stickiness Factor)：就是信息本身的影响力。

  3.1任何人至少要看过6遍广告，才能记住其内容(脑白金ORZ...)

  3.2有影响力的信息和行动之间是存在一个gap的，触发这个trigger才是好创意。以此来看，豆瓣购书单的功能很好。

  3.3针对施加影响的目标人群，信息的附着力必须集中，尽量降低干扰。(喜羊羊的成功)

  3.4排斥和接受间，能流行和不能流行间的距离很小很微妙，对附着力的界定，很大程度上是违反直觉的。高手在于将信息简单包装，而让人难以抗拒。

  4.环境威力法则(Power of Context)：外部环境决定了内心状态。

  4.1作为灵长类，人对人际暗示要比环境暗示敏感。

  5.社交中的动物性

  5.1通道容量(Channel Capacity)，大脑在接受某些信息时具有的记忆空间，通常是7位左右的数字(1 byte...)

  5.2脑的进化，也就是皮层面积的增长，是由于要应付更大的交往圈子。(不严谨的结论)

  5.3类比于通道容量，人类也存在社交容量，作者给出的值是150。以此可以控制团队的合理规模。

  5.4互相熟悉的人会产生互动记忆系统，建立在对哪个人更适合记忆哪些事情的了解之上。这是一种组织层面的信任和亲密。

  6.转变力量

  6.1社会扩散模型：五种角色(革新者、先期采纳者、早期大多数、晚期大多数、落后者)

  很通用。越通用的模型，越没什么用。

  6.2谣言传播过程中，会不断压缩或填充内容，形成更完美的闭合结构。类比于预言的自我实现，这条可以叫做谣言的自我成长。

  书的内容暂时不表！在这里通缉一下中信出版社！

  原著写于2000年出头。中信出版社在2002年就已翻译出版过此书！原名《引爆流行》。本是旧书出新颜，无可厚非！但换包装，换书名，不惜浪费国内出版行业最稀缺的ISBN资源换刊号，隐性的提高售价（原书18，现书30元），以上种种来博得发行量，增加收入。这种伎俩让我为他们很感到可耻。国内出版行业种种黑幕，听其多，见其少。本书无疑是这方面有利的诠释。
