Book Presentation: The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell
Book Abstract
When scientists study epidemics, they refer to a “tipping point” as being the moment at which a virus reaches critical mass and then exhibits sudden and dramatic growth almost overnight. New ideas in politics and society at large exhibit the same behavior. Ideas can start at the fringes and struggle to rise above the background noise for quite some time but once they reach their own tipping points, they will suddenly enjoy exponential growth and migrate into wide-scale popularity.
There are three factors which each play a role in determining whether a new idea stays in the background or instead goes viral and tips into wide-scale popularity and influence. Those factors are:
The Law of the Few – the right kind of person must champion an idea before it will reach the tipping point.The Stickiness Factor – ideas which tip must have a quality which compels people to pay attention.The Power of Context – the environment in which the idea is introduced must be just right.While the notion that there is a single point at which a new idea shows a sharp and dramatic uptick in growth and acceptance may sound farfetched and unlikely, tipping points do exist. The world we know is not always linear where the results generated are commensurate with the effort invested. Ideas follow the pattern of viruses where exponential rather than geometric growth is the norm. Big changes in society can sometimes flow from small events and these changes can happen very quickly.

Summary of The Tipping Point (Malcolm Gladwell)
The Three Rules of Epidemics
Modern day society always has some interesting trends, styles and phenomena bubbling away in the background. Some of these ideas stay in isolated pockets or small niches while others cross the Rubicon and get adopted by the broader population. In exhibiting this kind of behavior, new ideas follow the same pattern as viral epidemics. There is a crucial juncture, a tipping point, at which ideas take on a life of their own and become significant trends.
The challenge for anyone trying to promote a new idea is to get it to the tipping point. There are “Three Rules of Epidemics” which effect whether an idea gets to its tipping point or not. These are the Law of the Few, the Stickiness Factor and the Power of Context. Anyone who aspires to promote an idea that hopefully will go on to have a great impact on society had better become familiar with and competent in using these three rules.
