Malcolm Gladwell

Varför är vi så dåliga på att förstå andra människor?Att prata med främlingar är ett intellektuellt äventyr genom den mänskliga naturens mörka vrår. Med okända och ökända exempel beskriver Malcolm Gladwell vad som händer när vi träffar människor vi inte känner. Varför blir det så ofta fel? Hur viktigt är det första intrycket och hur kan vi vara så dåliga på att upptäcka när någon ljuger?Läs om spionen som arbetade i Pentagon utan att bli upptäckt, mannen som såg igenom pengatvätt på högsta nivå, poeten Sylvia Plaths självmord och om fallet Amanda Knox. Malcolm Gladwell uppmanar oss att ompröva det vi tror oss veta i en tid då öppenhet inför det främmande är mer angeläget än någonsin förr.*Malcolm Gladwell (f. 1963) är skribent på tidningen The New Yorker och en av världens mest framgångsrika författare. Han har publicerat sex böcker: Den tändande gnistan, Blink, Outliers, Vad hunden såg, David och Goliat samt Att prata med främlingar som samtliga har hamnat på New York Times bästsäljarlista.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast "Revisionist History" and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outliers, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers--and why they often go wrong. How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? Talking to Strangers is a classically Gladwellian intellectual adventure, a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology, and scandals taken straight from the news. He revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal at Penn State University, and the death of Sandra Bland---throwing our understanding of these and other stories into doubt. Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don't know. And because we don't know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world. In his first book since his #1 bestseller, David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell has written a gripping guidebook for troubled times.

Vippepunktet - eller The Tipping Point som originalen het - er Malcolm Gladwells sensasjonelle gjennombruddsbok om det magiske øyeblikket når en idé, en trend eller en sosial adferd tar fyr og sprer seg som ild i tørt gress. Slik en mann med influensa kan skape en epidemi, kan et dytt i riktig retning til rett tid av og til løfte et produkt fra ingenting til allemannseie. Hvorfor og hvordan går fenomener fra å være utenkelige til å bli selvsagte? Ikke noe tema er for lite og ubetydelig til å gi svar på store spørsmål når Gladwell gyver løs på det, med like deler fortellerkunst og vitebegjær. Gladwells berømte bestselger utforsker og forklarer vippepunktet som fenomen. Boken har allerede forandret hvordan vi tenker omkring hvordan ideer og sosiale vaner sprer seg i vårt moderne kommunikasjonssamfunn.

En rutinemessig trafikkontroll ender i tragedie. En spion opererer uhindret i årevis, midt i hjertet av Pentagon. En ung student dømmes for seksualmord på helt gale premisser. Hvorfor misforstår vi andre mennesker så lett? Hvorfor er det så vanskelig å avsløre en løgn, lese et ansikt eller oppfatte andre menneskers intensjoner og motiver? Malcolm Gladwell argumenterer for at det er noe fundamentalt galt med den mentale beredskapen vi bevisst eller ubevisst tillæres for å forstå situasjoner og mennesker vi ikke kjenner. Disse innebygde feilene i vår oppfattelse av det fremmede fører i neste omgang til misforståelser og konflikter som kan være fatale. Gjennom eksempler fra både historie og samtid tar forfatteren oss med på en oppdagelsesreise inn i avhørsteknikker og psykologiske studier i ansiktsmimikk med mer, med en uttalt ambisjon om at vi skal bli bedre til å lese hverandre - se gjennom og forbi stereotypier, fordommer og andre mekanismer som gjør at vi feilleser og misforstår verden rundt oss og andre mennesker - og til syvende og sist, oss selv.

Hur kommer det sig att en läkares tuffa barndom bidrog till att revolutionera behandlingen av cancer? Är Ingvar Kamprads dyslexi en av förklaringarna till Ikeas framgångar? Varför ser vi så ofta nackdelar där vi istället kan se fördelar? Malcolm Gladwell, författaren bakom bästsäljarna Tipping Point, Blink och Framgångsfaktorn, vänder i David och Goliat uppochner på vår förståelse av vad det innebär att vara en underdog. På typiskt gladwellskt maner ger han oss en underhållande och ögonöppnande lektion i konsten att slå ur underläge. Störst och vackrast är inte alltid bäst. Och jättar, som Goliat, är inte alltid vad vi tror att de är. Malcolm Gladwell är journalist på The New Yorker. Hans böcker har sålt i miljontals exemplar världen över. »David och Goliat är Malcolm Gladwells mest underhållande bok hittills.« Financial Times »Superintressant ... Jag tycker att Malcolm Gladwell bara blir bättre.« Jan Gradvall i DI Weekend

"En este libro revolucionario, el periodista canadiense Malcolm Gladwell nos explica c mo pensamos sin pensar, de d nde proceden las decisiones que parece que tomamos en dos segundos, pero que no son tan simples como aparentan. Por qu algunas personas son brillantes a la hora de decidir y otras son torpes una y otra vez? Por qu algunos siguen su instinto y triunfan, mientras que otros acaban siempre dando un paso en falso? Cu l es el funcionamiento real del cerebro en el trabajo, en clase, en la cocina o en la cama? Y por qu las mejores decisiones suelen ser las m s dif ciles de explicar? Gladwell nos presenta a un psic logo que ha aprendido a predecir si un matrimonio puede durar con s lo observarles unos minutos; a un entrenador de tenis que sabe cu ndo un jugador har doble falta antes incluso de que la raqueta toque la bola; a un experto en antig edades que reconoce una falsificaci n de un solo vistazo. Este libro revela que quienes son buenos tomando decisiones no son aquellos que procesan m s informaci n o que dedican m s tiempo a deliberar, sino aquellos que han perfeccionado el arte de hilar fino, de extraer los pocos factores que realmente importan a partir de una cantidad desmesurada de variables. "Por medio de la neurolog a y la psicolog a, y exhibiendo todo el esplendor del que este autor es capaz, Blink: Inteligencia intuitiva cambiar tu forma de ver las decisiones que tomas. Nunca m s volver s a pensar en pensar de la misma manera". ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In his landmark bestseller The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant-in the blink of an eye-that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work-in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others?. In Blink we meet the psychologist who has learned to predict whether a marriage will last, based on a few minutes of observing a couple; the tennis coach who knows when a player will double-fault before the racket even makes contact with the ball; the antiquities experts who recognize a fake at a glance. Here, too, are great failures of "blink" the election of Warren Harding; "New Coke"; and the shooting of Amadou Diallo by police. Blink reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of "thin-slicing"-filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.

Varför sker avgörande förändringar i samhället ofta plötsligt och oväntat? Vid vilken tidpunkt får en idé, en produkt eller ett socialt fenomen ett epidemiskt förlopp och slår igenom? Och vilka faktorer är det som gör att detta plötsligt händer?Den tändande gnistan är en historia skriven med smittande entusiasm över kraften i nya idéer. Men framför allt är det en vägledning till hur förändringar sker, med ett i grunden hoppfullt budskap att en enda påhittig människa kan förändra världen.»En underbar bladvändare som borde påverka hur varje tänkande människa ser på världen.«-- Michael Lewis*Malcolm Gladwell (f. 1963) är skribent på tidningen The New Yorker och en av världens mest framgångsrika författare.

‘It’s just a brute fact that we don’t throw virgins into volcanoes any more. We don’t execute people for shoplifting a cabbage. And we used to.’ –Steven Pinker ‘The idea that because things have gotten better in the past they will continue to do so in the future is a fallacy I would have thought confined to the lower reaches of Wall Street.’ –Malcolm Gladwell In a world driven by technology and globalization, is humanity approaching a Golden Age or is the notion of progress a Western delusion? Four of the world’s most renowned thinkers take on one of the biggest debates of the modern era…

Explore the power of the underdog in Malcolm Gladwell's dazzling examination of success, motivation, and the role of adversity in shaping our lives, from the bestselling author of The Bomber Mafia. Three thousand years ago on a battlefield in ancient Palestine, a shepherd boy felled a mighty warrior with nothing more than a stone and a sling, and ever since then the names of David and Goliath have stood for battles between underdogs and giants. David's victory was improbable and miraculous. He shouldn't have won. Or should he have? In David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwellchallenges how we think about obstacles and disadvantages, offering a new interpretation of what it means to be discriminated against, or cope with a disability, or lose a parent, or attend a mediocre school, or suffer from any number of other apparent setbacks. Gladwell begins with the real story of what happened between the giant and the shepherd boy those many years ago. From there, David and Goliath examines Northern Ireland's Troubles, the minds of cancer researchers and civil rights leaders, murder and the high costs of revenge, and the dynamics of successful and unsuccessful classrooms--all to demonstrate how much of what is beautiful and important in the world arises from what looks like suffering and adversity. In the tradition of Gladwell's previous bestsellers--The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers and What the Dog Saw--David and Goliath draws upon history, psychology, and powerful storytelling to reshape the way we think of the world around us.

Når vi skal forstå mennesker med suksess, griper vi gjerne til forklaringer som fokuserer på intelligens og ambisjoner. Gladwell argumenterer i denne boken for at den sanne historien om suksess bygger på et sett med faktorer som er mye mer sammensatt enn dette. Hvis vi skal forstå hvordan noen mennesker oppnår usedvanlige resultater, må vi bruke mye mer tid på å se omkring dem, på de sammenhengene deres liv er bygget opp fra familiebakgrunn, fødested - og i noen tilfeller også fødselsdato. I en medrivende tekst som på forståelig vis kommuniserer komplekse sosiologiske og psykologiske innsikter, avslører Gladwell hva The Beatles og Bill Gates har til felles grunnen til at du aldri har hørt om verdens smarteste mann hvorfor så godt som ingen hockeyspillere med suksess er født om høsten, og, i en tekst om piloter og flyhavari, hvorfor fødested i noen tilfeller er mer avgjørende enn flyferdigheter.

"A Scheherazade for our time". (Daily Telegraph). What if everything we thought about power was wrong? What if, in the ancient story of the shepherd boy who topples a giant, David actually had the advantage? This thought sets Malcolm Gladwell on an extraordinary journey that takes him from art to basketball, the brain to revolutions, along the way weaving unforgettable stories of misfits, outsiders, tricksters and underdogs who have faced outsized challenges and won. With his trademark warmth, humour and gift for showing us the world through new eyes, Gladwell lets us see why the powerful aren't always what we think they are - and that some of us have more strength and purpose than we could ever imagine.

'A feel-good extravaganza, nourishing both heart and mind ... What unites the stories are the twin ideas that an advantage can sometimes be a disadvantage and that a disadvantage can sometimes be an advantage. Yet there is something more powerful and more uplifting that links them' Kate Kellaway, Financial Times'I devoured in a single reading' Richard E.
