MBR: What The Dog Saw by Malcolm Gladwell

Hola everyone, it's been a while. This time I want to review about the book I just read, Malcolm Gladwell's What The Dog Saw.

Malcolm Gladwell tried to share about stories he got as a writer at New York Times. He called it as great adventures. The stories are about brilliant persons who have some hidden amazing things. Below is a list of some those persons. (note: not in order/random)

- Was John Kennedy Jr. panicked or choked when driving a plane that crashed and killed him at the end?
- What American football players taught about how to choose a good teacher?
- What was a hair-dyer role in 20th century history?
- What the dog saw on Cesar Millan and his body language?
- Who is to blame when an accident like Challenger explosion happens? No one, and we have to used to it.
- Why we always associate genius with speed of work?
- Should plagiarism charge ruins your life?
- Do we overestimate smart person?
- What we can learn about crime from pit bull?

And many more...

We can learn about something that maybe we didn't know it yet even though it happens around us. We have to be an open-minded person because of that and see this world differently. This book is great for person who wants to explore more about life. Don't be arrogant because of you have gotten something you wanted, there are many things that we don't know yet.

Keep learning!

MBR: Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell

Tipping Point from Malcolm Gladwell is about make a big difference with a little thing as written at cover. He explains about The Law of The Few, How Some 'Special' people can make an epidemic, Law of 150, Word of Mouth, and Stickiness Factor. He also gives us as readers some examples of them, such as How Sesame Street and Blues Clues in 80s made some children could get higher intelligence, How famous shoes brand, Airwalk could increase its sales drastically within several years, and many more.

I personally just read this book and impressed of it. All of theories and examples he explained just make sense and it is real. They are written in history. It'd be good if we use these theories for further research and implementation in our own company, maybe.

So, that's all of my reference of this book. I just want to share what I've learn in my life. I hope it'll be useful reference for all of you who haven't read it yet. Thanks.
