In 'The Tipping Point,' Malcolm Gladwell explores the moment when a social behavior, idea, or trend becomes an unstoppable phenomenon. By examining various case studies, he demonstrates how minor shifts can initiate a momentum leading to vast changes, much like how a flu spreads through a single sneeze in a crowd. Gladwell's engaging narrative dissects the components that contribute to these tipping points, offering insights into human behavior, the power of context, and the impact of small actions in both the social and business worlds.
