The ultimate intellectual of our times; Malcolm Gladwell is an English-born Canadian journalist, author, and public speaker. He has been a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1996. He is regarded by many as the most gifted and influential author and journalist in America today. Gladwell's rare ability to connect with audiences of such varied interests and explain social complexities with clear, engaging, research supported articles, books and podcasts makes him absolutely essential to follow for deep and complete understanding our volatile times. Malcolm Gladwell has written three books that have radically changed how we understand our world and ourselves: The Tipping Point, Blink, and Outliers. If you have not read these books and do not have them under your belt, you are at a significant disadvantage in advancing progress and change.
