# books / Revenge of the Tipping Point -- Malcolm Gladwell

The Tipping Point was the book that reminded me of something important I had forgotten about myself: I wanted to make change in the world, and to bring others with me. In other words, this book is significantly to blame for me not becoming a lawyer.

Revenge of the Tipping Point reminds us that change making is an agnostic sport morally, and at the same tools we use to make the world better have been used, are used, and continue to act to make the world worse too.

As usual Gladwell finds order from chaos, brings clarity to the murky, and tells a great yarn.

• Group Proportions: Quantifying tokens, minorities, and tipping points. Includes stories about white flight and the opioid epedemic, and why Harvard admits so many athletes.
• The law of the (very) few: Who were COVID super spreaders, and which doctors drive opioid addiction.
• Overstories: Overlaying social cultures and histories to explain why there is so much medical corruption in Miami.
