Tomorrow's Just Another Day
In the interests of full disclosure, no, I'm not on Malcolm Gladwell's payroll, but I am here to tell you to pick up his latest effort, Outliers: The Story of Success.
If you've read Gladwell's two previous books, The Tipping Point and Blink, you know that he has a gift for gathering research, studies, and anecdotes from a variety of sources, and then utilizing that material to make an engaging arguments on a number of topics, whether it be the reasons Hush-Puppies shoes became popular once again in the 90's, the ability of some art dealers to spot fakes in a moment's glance, or the reason that an inordinate number of NHL players are born in January, February, or March.
With that said, Malcolm, old buddy, since I have been so kind, if you have any spare change just sitting around, would you mind sending a care-package down to Waco?
You're obviously not using any of it on haircuts.Update at 8:30 p.m.
Just because I love you, I'm giving you a little Gladwell-video from a recent speaking engagement in San Francisco.
