The Tipping Point

This is an interesting book as I stumbbled upon it when I helped my mentor move out of his old house as he was remodeling his entire house. One of the books he had which I discovered in the boxes of books he gave to me was this book. It was old and dusty but in good condition so I read it.

Reading this book has helped me understand more about how small changes can lead to big impacts hence the "tipping point". By introducing the concept of the "tipping point" to me, this book has opened my eyes and allowed me to think about how I could create my own "tipping points".

It is interesting to think about the existence of the tipping point beyond the examples in the book. For instance, in a classroom, why is it that sometimes the class can stay quiet for minutes when the professor asks a question, but once that one person raises their hand then everyone starts participating?

I think this book is a very good introduction to the concept of the "tipping point" however I am very interested in the psychological aspect of why it exists. Is it something humans are concious of or is it something that is ingrained in our psyche?

I continue to notice more "tipping points" throughout my life and I hope this book will help you too. This truly is an art.
