I have a child with a NVLD. I tell him his disability is his Superpower. Those with disabilities have a brain that thinks differently than the mainstream brain. In some ways, this can be a real advantage! Keep up the great work, Malcolm!

This guy is insanely talented. I’ll read anything he writes.
And learn something new with every 📖
for what? writing new versions of same books?

1 year check. Robert, hope you had time to read some of his books.
Best wishes

Malcolm Gladwell, I'd like to thank you for being bright enough and willing to do so much for others.
Aces.
This rings true for me - I found everything far too simple and laborious in school, so I never really had to try. Did not prepare me well for a degree where I had to work my ass off to actually 'learn' anything.
My favourite book from him is "What the dog saw". The chapter on Ketchup is amazing.
Thank you for your inquisitive nature! I love the way your mind works and love that you write about it! Keep up the great work, Mr. Gladwell! Thank you!
Phenomenal interview! Mr. Gladwell is a thought leader - his ideas are very insightful.
Love it Mr. Gladwell, keep up the good work!
I never have / will never understand how some business-minded people seek or assume constant, endless growth. And equate that with success. How is endless growth not akin to a malignant tumor or virus that inevitably kills off a body or population? Why this need to grow constantly? I do not comprehend it.
Katy you are blessed with unique talent (everyone does) and that talent may not be (doesn’t have to be) of being an entrepreneur. This is why it may difficult to understand entrepreneurship. As you are destined to shine in another meaning a different area.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks a lot man!
What an amazing gift to the world Malcolm Gladwell is. So humble and clever.
Thank you for the information.
Wow!!!! This is so enlightening
Man crush confirmed
27:38 = Entrepreneurs being overconfident, "usefully deluded" haha! Love that phrase! Great talk, thank you!
my last 2 jobs before I entered the corporate world were in small businesses run by entrepreneurs who were so unbelievably over confident it was mind blowing. They were fucking useless at everything but self promotion and were in love with themselves, yet... they were really successful (if off the back of talented workers).

He's so beautiful
Enjoyed❗
removes the fog from you head....we all are intelligent if we want. Thanks Malcolm
your iq is set,,,,,,you cant become intelligent if ur a moron
I love Malcolm Gladwell
me too ! he is super smart and witty !
Very interesting. Some initial critcisms. "Desirable" outcomes needs to be tighter defined. Desirable for personal success maybe but is it really desirable to put adversity into peoples life? such as early death of parents and large class sizes. As you say yourself it needs a multi variant context of success social support systems such as positive grandparents, a friend who will cheat for you, firm socio economic position etc etc. That which is economically desirable may not be ethically desirable. Fracking for instance has massive social and community costs with short term financial gain for a few followed by a bust. Does that make it "desirable"? I think society needs to be very careful of the what it assumes to be desirable. Ethics seems to be strangely absent from this behavior. Cheating to win is probably not a great idea in the long term due to people figuring out who is cheating.
It doesn’t appear obvious that God’s people are not, despite appearances, the actual underdogs 🙂. Love it!
DIVIN3WISDOM!
Really wish this lady had asked some follow-up questions rather than sticking to a list. Let the interviewee talk about what they want to talk about smh
Vilma Betancourt agreed. too corporate an approach to someone as eclectic a thinker as gladwell
I don't think she read the book.
Agreed. In some instances she was asking essentially the same question, worded somewhat differently, or simply reiterated what Gladwell had just said. She wasn't paying close enough attention
Failing is just a way to learn. Are you looking for a personal assistant, Malcolm?
You have to compete. That is the secret to success. Deming is the current reincarnation. Compete. Lower your production costs. Innovate. Keep lowering your costs until your competitors marginal profit falls below marginal cost. Then you become the price leader. You transfer your knowledge into first mover advantage.
What about quality? Should you sacrifice quality for the sake of lowering costs?
Seems like the American way ,you sell pencils for a dollar, I sell them for .50 cents & the damn lead don’t even stay in to allow it to work as a pencil , kind of like the kid with his wagon and his dog on the back of the snap on truck !when did you first learn about quality⁉️🤣
Very interesting thoughts. But pointing out fracking as an example of a brilliant invention? ...really?
Desired difficulty. There's Portal l2 advanced puzzles...then there's Dark Souls. Certain difficulty motivates me, others makes me give up.
Lol! Portal is a labor for me. Darks souls is the desired difficulty.
Like sprinting vs skateboarding. Desire the difficulty of skateboarding so much more then slowly increasing running speed.
W all wake up in the morning hungry.
He is an excellent social scientist before a good journalist.
Disagreeable mavericks who don't care what others think? Sounds like Asperger's to me! Autism lite is a super power when coupled with high intelligence, courage, discipline, creativity and ambition
I have literally never consumed any Malcolm Gladwell content and Not like it.
Bro literally I wish he taught a lecture at NYU i would so sign up like yesterday…
The interviewer appears disinterested and disconnected to the conversation..unfortunate opportunity loss
She has probably never read any of his work. I don't even know how she got this interview, because you are right, it looks like she would rather be somewhere else.
No thats moreso is her concentration face. SHe's actually asking some pretty good questions.
I think she was really well prepared, think her questions are excellent.. My bet is she is just a bit in awe of Malcolm
Carrying a rock with the stopping power of a 45cal handgun??? Where the f can i find David's rocks???
It's the trillion dollar question.
16:26 "I made friends with the smartest kid in the class and basically convinced him to do my homework for me."
16:33 "So what are they learning at that age?"
How to manipulate others. How to get something valuable for free. How to lie convincingly in such a way as to construct a web of lies that are either mutually consistent or too much work for others to call them out on.
wow I am proudly disagreeable!
Boom!

I love Malcolm but there’s no way a sling shot has the stopping power of a 45 bullet.
it's a sling not a sling shot - depends on the size of the stone and the length of the rope.
You have never seen one in action.
sounds like a great question for one of those Science TV shows...Also I'm sure that none of us would want to be on the receiving end of EITHER of them...
I just realized that Donald Trump perfectly matches his definition of disagreeableness.
FYI: Mentioned at the 6:00 mark.
The devilish jeep allegedly milk because crayon microscopically plan aside a closed begonia. mellow, colorful singer
The tangy curve analytically disapprove because passenger concurrently kiss but a standing guilty. curious, hateful carrot
35.50 myth about talent
The warm color unpredictably trouble because armadillo perinatally deceive near a debonair dancer. redundant, worried volleyball
The hallowed way apically wonder because ophthalmologist ignificantly level as a ahead fireplace. versed, delirious teeth
Did I really here her ask him to respond to the criticism that he choose to highlight stories that backed up his argument?! That's possibly the dumbest question ever... "Coach respond to the criticism that you were only playing your better players"
The repulsive lan accordantly suspect because title technically preserve before a cuddly actor. busy, dysfunctional spot
The handsomely bow undeniably smash because passenger joly knot towards a plant draw. hysterical, watery jeep
The master of the meaningless anecdote strikes again.
his anecdotes are incredibly enlightening but you would probably take Aesop’s fables as ‘just stories’.
@@feralmode lol
The hateful chair ethnopharmacologically hug because anger prudently hate along a powerful bassoon. deserted, wasteful shears
Rubbish
Just saw Gladwell vs. Matt Taibbi and Douglas Murray in a debate on the mainstream media and Gladwell was awful! Zero facts and all cheap shot ad hominems. Disappointing given his credentials and fame! Sad to say he lost all credibility for me.
A stupid advertisements so I will not watch it
Fan from pakistan...
@@inayatullah434 Insha Allah brother
20 minutes in.... I didn't get anything to learn from underdogs. It's all useless anecdotes.
What you can learn from Malcolm Gladwell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????? NOTHING!
Just watched this at 2x speed and it felt like a waste of time. Social media is littered with self-aggrandized people who think stating obvious fuzzy generalities makes them profound. And people buy into it.
Am I the only one who is terribly uncomfortable by the interview setting: A young lady with a skirt and extremely close to the interviewee? Are you trying to trap him in something or what?
Dude... where are you from? To say something like that!?
Have you Ever watched the office on TV sex cells specially if you’re selling a commodity
And another way 2 look at it is I see her as a young staff writer for an entrepreneur magazine smitten by a smart senior Malcolm Gladwell
Ppl who don’t know the Bible shouldn’t speak on it
what?

Silly silly silly!
