| Malcomb Gladwell Has anyone heard Malcomb Gladwell speak or read his books - Outliers, The Tipping Point and Blink. He was one of the KeyNote speakers at WES and he is the most remarkable speaker I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. He kept an audience of almost 6,000 absolutely spellbound. Basically he discussed how we look at success - and how effort and opportunity equals or outweighs intelligence and ability. It WOWED me and gave me hope I am reading his third book - Outliers - and it is fascinating. When I finish I will immediately re-read it 'cause I KNOW I am missing many of the important points. |

| Oh my, I can see that a trip to Barnes and Noble is in my near future. If you EVER have an opportrunity to hear him speak - grab it -- he is absolutely incredible. |

Thor's Human Donating Member | I loved 'The Tipping Point'. If you like his stuff, you might like the guy who wrote 'Liar's Poker'. They have similar, fascinating writing styles.
