Susan Salter Reynolds, a staff reporter for the Los Angeles Times has written a review called 'What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures' by Malcolm Gladwell where she writes: "The New Yorker writer's sense of curiosity burns bright in this collection of essays. Gladwell started as a reporter at the Washington Post. Strictly speaking, he left that path soon after 1996, when he joined the staff of the New Yorker, where a little leash goes a long way. Gladwell always had an eye for good stories, but at the magazine he gained the confidence to use these stories to say something larger about American culture. He also gained the confidence to reveal more about his own perspective; to let his readers watch him as he assembled his theories from historical, statistical and empirical evidence.

Inside the NFL

In an article published at sportsillustrated.cnn.com, Ann Killion has written in her "Inside The NFL" column: "We're learning more and more about the seriousness of brain injury with every passing week. The concern reached a crescendo last month with the congressional hearings and Malcolm Gladwell's in-depth look at the issue in The New Yorker.

In The New Yorker, Ira Casson, who co-chairs an NFL committee on brain injury, said he isn't sure what the solution is. "No one has any suggestions -- assuming that you aren't saying no more football, because let's be honest, that's not going to happen," he said.

No, that's not going to happen. But, let's be honest, the toll of America's favorite form of violence is very real. The links between repetitive injury and early dementia are frightening.

The Head and Heart of Brian Westbrook

Jacob Lambert published an article at philadelphiaweekly.com titled The Head and Heart of Brian Westbrook where he writes: "If the game that we love is hurting him -- and everone else who plays it -- what does it say about us? And what will happen because of that? The New Yorker has many subscribers; its articles are widely read online. Malcolm Gladwell is one of the most popular authors in America. Yet in the mainstream sports media, amidst the current wave of concern, “Offensive Play” received no attention at all. Is this because its facts were unpersuasive? Or is this because, if McKee and Omalu are correct, we must face a difficult truth: that the line between the health of others and our entertainment is more distant than we’d care to admit.

Dave Zirin has published an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer called "Football's Blow to the Head" where he writes: "The NFL has finally stopped pretending brain injuries aren't an issue. Now what? On Sunday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made a startling concession to medical ethics - one resisted by his predecessors. He said that when a player sustains a concussion, teams will now be required to seek advice from "independent" neurologists. He said on NBC, 'As we learn more and more, we want to give players the best medical advice. This is a chance for us to expand that and bring more people into the circle to make sure we're making the best decisions for our players in the long term."

Gladwell for Dummies

MalcolmGladwellFan@gmail.com (Malcolm Gladwell Fan Channel) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:24:00 +0000

Maureen Tkacik, a financial journalist from New York City and formerly a reporter for 'The Wall Street Journal', writing for The Nation.com has published an article titled “Gladwell for Dummies” in which she writes: “That success is in the eye of the unsuccessful would seem to be the great unspoken dilemma dogging critics asked to consider the work of the rich and famous author and inspirational speaker Malcolm Gladwell. No matter how well intentioned or intellectually honest their attempts to assess his ideas, the subtext of Gladwell's perceived success, and its implications for their own aspirations in the competitive thought-generation business, obscures their judgment and sinks their morale. Nearly a decade has passed since the New York Times dryly summarized Gladwell's first book, The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference (2000), as "a study of social epidemics, otherwise known as fads," and yet, each Sunday, it still taunts perusers of the paperback nonfiction rankings, where it currently sits in sixth place. Gladwell may be merely "a slickster trickster" who "markets marketing" (as James Wolcott put it), or a "clever idea packager" who "cannot conceal the fatuousness of his core conclusions" (science writer John Horgan); he might even be an "idiot" (Leon Wieseltier). But one thing is clear: Gladwell is no fad. He is a brand, a guru, a fixture at New York publishing parties and in the spiels of literary agents hoping to steer writers toward concepts that will strike publishers as "Gladwellian."

New Yorker Articles Offer Business Insights

MalcolmGladwellFan@gmail.com (Malcolm Gladwell Fan Channel) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:23:00 +0000

Richard Pachter writing for the 'Savannah Morning News' at savannahnow.com has written an article titled “New Yorker Articles Offer Business Insights” where he writes: “Does best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell write business books? It's a friendly argument I've had for years with another Miami Herald book reviewer (Hi, Connie!).

But I define "business" broadly and believe lessons are learned from diverse places; commerce, after all is one of the oldest human activities. Unlikely sources often provide examples and metaphors for successful business practices and concepts - or things to avoid.

But Gladwell is another matter. His reporting, observations and meditations on systems and practices unfailingly offer insights that have keen relevance for business. He's clearly fascinated by commerce, too, and its practitioners.

Editor’s Choice from 'The Buffalo News'

MalcolmGladwellFan@gmail.com (Malcolm Gladwell Fan Channel) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:22:00 +0000

Jeff Simon writing for 'The Buffalo News' has Malcolm’s new book “What the Dog Saw” listed as an Editor’s Choice where he writes: “Curiosity about the interior life of other people’s day-to-day work is one of the most fundamental of human impulses, and that same impulse is what led to the writing you now hold in your hands.” So writes Malcolm Gladwell in the introduction to his remarkable new collection. One might even say that civilization itself depends on it—which is why such curiosity about the interior life of others is the hallmark of culture and the cultivated and a chilling absence among those whose lives are either too taxing or too vacant to permit it.

It’s also why Malcolm Gladwell, as a literary phenomenon in America, is utterly inseparable from the New Yorker. We have no other regular periodical in America that would lead to the pieces collected in this book, with its first section about “what I like to call minor geniuses— not Einstein and Winston Churchill and Nelson Mandela and the other towering architects of the world in which we live, but people like Ron Popiel, who sold the Chop-O-Matic, and Shirley Polykoff, who famously asked, ‘Does she or doesn’t she? Only her hairdresser knows for sure.’ ”

Author Gladwell Says ‘Humility’ Key Attribute in Leadership

Author Gladwell Says ‘Humility’ Key Attribute in Leadership

Writing for Akron.com Holly Pupino has published an article called, “Author Gladwell Says ‘Humility’ Key Attribute in Leadership” where she writes: “What do the former chief executive officer of Bear Stearns, Jimmy Cayne, and Union Army commander Joseph Hooker have in common?

According to author and New Yorker staff writer Malcolm Gladwell, they were both smart, talented, successful and ultimately the victims of their own overconfidence.

They both “massively miscalibrated” crucial information — in Hooker’s case, military intelligence, and in Cayne’s case, the deteriorating financial stability of his company. “And both became prisoners of their overconfidence,” Gladwell told an audience at The University of Akron’s (UA) E.J. Thomas Hall Nov. 11.

Gladwell, the first speaker in UA’s 2009-10 Forum Series, has found a winning formula for interpreting research from the social sciences and connecting ideas, making his theories understandable and relevant to business leaders and general audiences alike. All three of his books have been New York Times bestsellers.
