Author, theorist, provocateur, guru, cultural critic, Malcom Gladwell was many things to many people. For every Gladwell essay, there was an anti-Gladwell takedown picking apart his conclusions. As a dissector of cultural data, the Canadian journalist created his own form of discourse, adapting academia for the masses and making him a star lecturer and bestselling author in the process. A New Yorker staff writer since 1996, he wrote bestselling books including: The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference (2000), Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking (2005) , Outliers: The Story of Success (2008), the essay collection What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures (2009), and David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants.
