This book is a great read that has had some wide acclaim and has been disputed by some, including the rebuttle book Think by Michael R. LeGault, on the merits of its philosophy.

I have read both, and can simply say that the latter simply loses the core idea behind Gladwells book and is misguided in his refuting discourse.

All in all, this book evokes and promotes healthy thinking and quick, sharp , alert observations and reactions.
