I remember I first read The Tipping Point then I read Blink then Outliers then David and Goliath which is also very good, but then when I read Talking with Strangers last year [...] I remember I shot him an email and I said 'Malcolm this book is like the definition of mastery, it's like watching a master at work'. He took this subject matter that should have been so difficult and frankly not interesting and it's fascinating.
