Rambling is Good for the Soul

The Tipping Point

I LOVE this book! I read it because I so enjoyed Blink.
The best part about the book - I finally figured out what I am – a CONNECTOR!
The description was wonderful: (paraphrase): “you know those people who seem to know everyone? Well, they do…” I’m like – YES! That’s me! One of his examples has a database of 1600 people – I’m only at like 450. But I figure that I’m younger than he is – so I have a while to catch up.

I appreciated some of his great stories – especially around deterring crime by cleaning things up. Amazing that little things can sometimes make a big difference.

Though, there is about a third of the book at the end that I just don’t get. Anyone understand? I guess after finding the beginning so accessible and so hoping that he could help me figure out what the “one thing” for Canterbury could be, I got lost somewhere in something. I’d love to chat more about it, if you got it.

If you haven’t read it, it’s another good one to check out.
