Malcolm Gladwell is arguably one of the most influential authors of our time. The concepts he popularized, like Tipping Point, Matthew Effect and 10,000 Hours of Practice, are now part of regular public discourse. In the previous meeting, we explored Moral Licensing, which Gladwell recently introduced in his Revisionist History podcast. In the meeting after this, we will explore Broken Windows, an older theme from his early work, and is now at the heart of the controversy of policing. For the upcoming meeting, we will watch Gladwell's three TED Talks, which cover a range of topics. In each of the following talks, Gladwell tells you something different about a subject that you thought you knew everything about, and then broadens its scope so that it has a major impact on the way you look at the world.
