MALCOLM GLADWELL BOOKS

Malcolm Gladwell is a Canadian journalist, author, and public speaker best known for his unique ability to weave complex ideas from sociology, psychology, and behavioral economics into engaging narratives that resonate with a wide audience. Born on September 3, 1963, in Fareham, Hampshire, England, and raised in rural Ontario, Canada, Gladwell developed an early interest in literature and public discourse, which eventually led him to study history at the University of Toronto’s Trinity College. After graduation, he began his career in journalism, working for The American Spectator and later The Washington Post, where he covered business and science for nearly a decade. In 1996, he joined The New Yorker as a staff writer, where his ability to explore everyday phenomena with a fresh lens began to earn him widespread recognition. Gladwell shot to international fame with the release of his first book, The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference in 2000, which explored how small actions can trigger major social change. He followed this success with a series of bestsellers, including Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw, David and Goliath, and Talking to Strangers, each of which explores human behavior, decision-making, and the subtle forces that shape our lives. Known for coining influential concepts like "the tipping point" and "10,000-hour rule," Gladwell has become a leading voice in contemporary thought leadership. In addition to his writing, he is the host of the popular podcast Revisionist History, where he re-examines overlooked or misunderstood events of the past. Gladwell is also a co-founder of Pushkin Industries, an audio content company focused on narrative-driven podcasts and audiobooks. With a distinctive style that blends curiosity, storytelling, and rigorous research, Malcolm Gladwell continues to influence public conversation and challenge conventional wisdom across the globe.
